Play Badminton for leisure

My friends and I are looking for a place to play badminton leisurely around Tokyo without having to spend too much and without going too far.

I am curious about the world around me. So I am exploring Japan one step at a time.

    Can you read Japanese? This site gives a list of places in Tokyo. They are rated and give the distance from the station. http://www.spot.town/spots/tokyo/-/badminton/

    I know that Shibuya Sports Center has some badminton courts open to the public. Well, it used to. I haven't been there for a while.

    I don't know of any specific places in Tokyo and it depends on the area you want to play in. I'd ask around at community centers near where you live. Usually they have a weekly schedule for activities in the neighborhood including badminton. Sometimes the clubs meet in school gyms if the community center doesn't have one. Local badminton clubs will charge a monthly membership or you can pay each time you play.

    You can register for a membership in your local sports center. Registration is usually free but you have to pay a minimal fee when you use their facilities. It should be just below 500 yen.

"Pocket money" sites?

With Christmas under 100 days away, it's a time of year where I really try to increase any extra earnings I can make for my household -- obviously there's a lot more outgoing expenses for those of us that celebrate at the tail end of the year. Back when I was a university student in my home country, there were lots of different market research survey sites where you could earn a bit of extra cash and be paid either via direct deposit to your bank account or with gift cards for supermarkets and the like. Does anyone know of any similar sites like that here? Obviously I'm not expecting tons of cash from any of them, but hey -- anything extra helps!

Izu Islands exploration!

Genkidesu asked about Hachijojima, a place I've visited twice. Has anybody else explored the other islands in the Izu chain? What do you recommend for a solo traveler? A couple or family?

Is your locale suffering from overtourism or is it...crickets?

I've lived on the periphery of Tokyo, commuted in for some years, and finally pulled back. Is the city or region you live in crowded with tourists from abroad or is it an off-the-beaten track location? Do the claims of "overtourism" ring true to you or do you think it's overblown?
