| Suppose there was a place with a pool hall, Karaoke rooms, arcades, a comic library, mini ramps, and a bowl. You would go there, right? Head to 24 Mizuho Base to find out. You can enjoy all the entertainment for 100 yen for every 15 minutes. There are mini ramps of various sizes outside the facility. The biggest ramp has a challenging extension. Inside, you will find a bowl. The building is air conditioned so it is very nice to chill.It is a fun place even your girlfriend wouldn`t mind coming. -Jima |

| This park is one of the best places to practice and polish your skills. I mean, it has everything you need. A pyramid with a ledge next to it. Quarter pipes. Mini ramps. A spine. Rails. A box. A mannual pad.They come in all sizes so it`s great to learn new tricks. I would say the pyramid is the main attraction.You can pick different lines once you get used to the sections.The park has a nice setting for both street and transition lovers. -Jima |

| This park is situated alongside Tama river. On sunny days, it`s very relaxing to skate but tough to skate on windy and cold days. The park is not very big but it`s just good enough to roll around and practice. The mini ramp is very mellow for beginners to learn transition skating. |

| Jounanjima skatepark is located in the most southern part of Oota ward.The park was built after a local team OTSC (Oota Skate Crew) collected petitions from 1998,and voiced their need for a park at local festivals. Finally in April of 2005 the city built a skate park. The park is located in a recreational park with a large camping ground,a beatiful beach, and a walking cource for the general public to enjoy. The local skaters spend most of their time there, a.k.a the Jounanjima 8 hour-cource. The park is for all levels from beginners to advanced.There is a bank-to-bank section between a quarter pipe and a flat bank. In the open are, there are rails.Next year they are planning to add a mannual pad and a box. Also there is a 7 foot mini ramp. (You rarely find a nice size mini ramp in Tokyo.) Come and check out this park. Get out from the hectic city life and escape to Jounanjima.You can spend all day just chilling. |

| スケートボードが好きな人なら一度は耳にしたことがあるだろう田町。 田町とはJR山手線での駅の名前。スケートパークの住所は東京都港区芝浦4丁目付近。本当のスケートパークの名前は忘れた。まぁ芝浦ポンプ所と覚えておけばたどり着けるだろう。運が良ければ。 俺は初めて茨城から一人で田町に行ったときの事を良く覚えている。なんせ田町の駅を降りてから、4時間は迷ったからだ。普通に行けばプッシュで10分でいけるだろう距離。何も情報を集めなく、行けば何とかナルッショ的な考えがあって、でも、どうにもならなかった。 でも、サスガ東京。別にパークに着かなくても楽しめた。だって、そこら中にカーブやらステアさらに路面が良い。結局スケボは一人でも十分楽しめるものだと再確認した瞬間だった。そして、誰もパークの存在を知らない。そこらの一般人、コンビニのネーチャンやタクシーの運転手。結局知らないスケーターを見つけて、そいつに話しかけて、パークに連れて行ってもらった。本当にアリガトウ。 パークに行けば分るけど、何も知らない状態で行けば、必ず迷う。絶対分らない、そんな所入って行くなんて…コレが始めての俺の田町ストーリー。 田町は東京の数少ないパークと言う事もあって、やたら高いスキルの持ち主が多い。だから楽しい。俺はここで、一つの目標を考えた。取りあえず、田町で目立つこと。フラット回し、カーブにレール。コレだけを完璧にしていれば田町は目立てる。そして、そこから何かが生まれる、そう信じて俺はひたすらスキルを磨いた。 その結果、沢山の仲間が出来、色々な人と仲良くなれた。そして、スポンサーや、雑誌、ビデオという形でいい方向に向かっていった。だからこそ、田町という存在は大きい。 でも、そこはゴールではなく、スタートなので勘違いしないように。Text by Shinichi Ito |

| The park is surrounded by trees which create perfect shades to chill especially during summer.There is a mini ramp, and many boxes. Make sure you don`t skate the marble benches outside the designated skate area.It`s part of the agreement for keeping the skate park open in Musashino park.Also Musashino park is well known for Cherry blossom. During this time, you can drink and skate.But please respect other visitors. Also if you walk a little further inside the park, there is a tight bank 200 meters long.It`s about knee hight but I must say it`s an expert level.Have you ever seen a picture of Junnosuke throwing a huge backside ollie. Can anyone match that? Overall, it`s a fun park if you don`t mind the rough ground. (well, it`s not as bad as you think.) -Jima |
