Tips for Playing Billiards in Tokyo

Payment Structure: Most venues charge per person per hour rather than per table, so plan your budget accordingly.

Drink Purchase: Be prepared to buy a drink as part of your table time fee.

Social Interaction: If you're alone, invite others to join. Many players may hesitate to approach strangers.

Transportation: Watch out for subway closing times. Plan your return to avoid costly taxi rides or long walks back to the Airbnb.
