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.

    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.

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita
