The Fact About Japan Basketball
There are about 550,000 basketball players in Japan, excluding 3×3 players.
If you include basketball players who don’t register Japanese Basketball Association, there are more than 2,000,000 players.
Except for the professional league, we don’t have off-season.
So, basketball is played a lot in Japan all through a year from elementary school kids to senior players. (Some senior players say that they will be satisfied if they can die on the court. LOL)

Obviousely, the biggest thing is language.
Still today, many Japanese people can’t understand English.
So, it’s a little bit hard…maybe very hard to find right teams for you if you cannot speak Japanese.
The second thing is the accessibility to the information.
Even for Japanese who can understand Japanese, Japanese Basketball system is hard to see from outside.
Especially, their schedule.
There is not a good comprehensive website or a document that covers anual schedule.
It makes organizers difficult to plan events.
