Discover the New ‘Court Map’ Feature
The grass-roots basketball community, ‘Basuke Shiyou!’, operated by Walkers Inc., has unveiled a new feature allowing users to easily locate basketball courts in the Greater Tokyo area. Launched on August 31, 2026, the ‘Court Map’ provides a digital solution to a common problem for budding basketball enthusiasts: finding places to play.
Background
For many players, the excitement of basketball can often be overshadowed by the challenge of knowing where to play. Court information is typically scattered across various municipal websites and park guides, making it hard to access detailed information about available courts. The abundance of locations, combined with a lack of specific details like the presence of hoops or the distinction between full and half courts, can discourage players. ‘Basuke Shiyou!’ aims to tackle this challenge by offering a consolidated, user-friendly platform for basketball enthusiasts of all levels.
Key Features of the Court Map
1.
Comprehensive Coverage of 189 Courts: The Court Map consolidates 189 different basketball courts, with 110 located in Tokyo, 29 in Chiba, 28 in Saitama, and 22 in Kanagawa. Both map view and card list options are available for easy navigation.
2.
Player-Centric Information: Each court on the map includes essential details from a player’s perspective, such as categorization of courts (full court, half court, or hoops only), any associated fees (with 185 of the 189 courts being free), and availability of night lighting.
3.
Proximity Searches: The map allows players to view courts sorted by proximity to their current location. Users can easily filter by city or keywords to swiftly find their ideal court.
4.
No Registration Required: Accessing the Court Map is completely free and does not require user registration, making it convenient for everyone.
Please note that information may change, and users are encouraged to check local postings or the official site for the most current usage policies.
Representing the Vision
“In basketball, all it takes is knowing where the court is, and you can start playing today. This map eliminates the hassle of searching for locations. Find one nearby, and jump into a game!” stated Atsushi Watanabe, the CEO of Walkers Inc.
Future Plans
