Tokyo’s free courts offer very different ways to play. A court beneath an expressway allows walk-in play, while a municipal clay court requires group registration and a reservation. The lit hard courts at a disability sports centre have restricted access.

Tategawa Waterside Park

竪川親水公園

Tategawa Waterside Park has a single outdoor tennis court tucked beneath the Shuto Expressway near Kinshichō Station — an uncommon walk-in, no-reservation option in central Tokyo. It's popular with locals, so the court can get busy; the adjoining practice wall is a handy backup while you wait.
