There are six tournaments every year. Three are in Tokyo (Jan, May, and Sept), one each in Osaka (Mar), Aichi (Jul), and Osaka (Nov). In my five years stationed in Japan, I regret never getting down south to catch a tournament. Being 400 miles north in Misawa it was difficult getting down to Tokyo. Nowadays it is much easier now that the Shinkansen goes into Hachinohe.
