☆The OTB chess club guide of Japan for a traveler to Japan

Hello Chess friends. I am USCF OSAKA CHESS CLUB web master codfish. If you
are serious chess fan,and look for OTB chess club in Japan, I write this.

Probably this is a only chess club guide for a traveler.
When you move to Japan at work or do short stay, I think that it helps to
look for a chess club in Japan.

First, in Japan, although chess is liked comparatively, it has little more
detailed one. I think that it is a chess game population of Japan about of
500-700.

There is JCA (Japan Chess Association) in Japan, and JCA have eight main
clubs and eight circles (minor clubs) .
In addition, about two clubs of non- JCA club.and two club of USCF at
Tokyo and Osaka. I think that you can enjoy a chess life enough during
your stay to Japan.

Although there are few chess clubs in Japan and there is also little game
population, all players have good relations at an acquaintance. During your
stay in Japan, if it goes to a nearby club, it is welcomed and much
information will be able to be acquired.Short stay player's registry:
\1,050 but valid through two years. Moreover, if you desire a game of USCF,
please come to our club of Osaka.

I write the main clubs in a Japanese map.I am detailed to the chess club of
western part of Japan, I am not detailed in the chess club of East Japan
including Tokyo. Plese ask information, when you visit the main chess
clubs.

And if you want to ask me some cases, take out mail to me in easy English.
My english is poor,But I try to anser in in easy English.

At last, the link of the chess club in Japan translated by machine is
attached.
