Pickleball One opens a third Tokyo complex, at a new Toyosu dog park, with Mitsui Fudosan as a sponsor
Pickleball One is opening its third dedicated court complex in Tokyo, four lit outdoor courts inside a new Toyosu dog park backed by sponsors including Mitsui Fudosan — the second large pickleball complex to land in the same district this year.
Pickleball One, which operates courts with Mellow Inc., is opening its third dedicated Tokyo facility next month: four lit, outdoor hard courts inside THE DOG PARK TOYOSU, a new complex in Koto Ward, according to the company. Pickleball Park Toyosu opens on 9 September, with the dog park itself following on 11 September; reservations opened on 20 August.
Courts run ¥6,000 an hour on weekday daytimes, ¥7,000 on weekday evenings and ¥8,000 at weekends and holidays, with the facility open from 6am to 10pm (unstaffed before 9am) and closed over the new year. TBS Holdings, Mitsui Fudosan and KINTO are named as sponsors, though the release does not detail what each contributes. Pickleball One said the opening makes it the only operator running three dedicated pickleball facilities in Tokyo, a claim it bases on its own market survey, which puts Japan's competitive pickleball population at around 330,000 as of March 2026.
The complex opens a short walk from a rival already under construction in the same district: Nippon Pickleball Holdings' PICKLR Tokyo Toyosu, a roughly 560-tsubo, seven-court indoor facility with membership fees running to ¥66,000 a month, due to open the same month. Two well-capitalised operators building large, purpose-built complexes within walking distance of each other — rather than one expanding alone — suggests both see enough headroom in Tokyo's pickleball demand to risk direct competition. Mitsui Fudosan's sponsorship also fits a pattern seen elsewhere this year: developers lending their name, and often underused waterfront or station-area land, to racquet-sports operators — a cheap way to animate sites between bigger redevelopments.
