Kythnos Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 This is just an open invite to any players in the Hiroshima area of Japan. I belong to a long-standing group here and helped found a couple wargaming groups here in Japan. The Hiroshima Wargaming guild has about 9-10 members. We meet once a month in Saijo (Higashi Hiroshima). I`m the only non-Japanese, English-speaking member...but I`m happy to translate for people. So, if you`re in the area (even down on the base in Iwakuni), you`re only an hour from 40K, Fantasy Battle, Warmachine/Hordes, and even Blood Bowl! Almighty Nocturnus Hey Nocturnus, how's your group going? I'll be going to Hiroshima next year for about a year and would be really interested to join your gaming group. It#s still along time until then, but I thought I'd better check early if you still exist :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136999-japan/page/2/#findComment-2443289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

brolthemighty Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 At the moment here are the gaming groups and information I know of for Japan. There's a weekly gaming group that meets at Misawa AB, in the Aomori prefecture. We do 40k, and are beginning WHFB as well. At Kadena there is also a weekly gaming group that meets (I can get more info if needed.) In Tokyo there is actually a GW store....which is insanely priced. For most needs go through the Warstore. It seems to have the fastest shipping time to Japan (most orders arrive the week after you place the order, as long as its early in the week.)

hushrong Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Regarding Okinawa, I have searched high and low and had no luck finding a GW store or porducts. Went to Naha, Nago, and some other villages but all hobby stores were filled to the brim with Tamiya stuff and anime based model kits. This delayed my hopes for WH40K hobby for about a decade. Best bet is to buy online or find another gamer and trade which one guy I knew did A LOT! On Kadena AFB, at the Schilling Community Center by the Commissary, New BX(I left when it was being built up), and theater is where many gamers meet. I think they meet on Sat. Most of the time I was there I would just play xbox to get out of the sun and away from humidity.

Erm, its called Iconoclasm! http://www.hobbymetal-iconoclasm.com/ theres the site. You will need help translating if you cant read Japanese. They meet twice a month to game.

Warsmith Aznable Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Unless the paranoia of the U.S. State Department screws it up for me, I will be spending the month of July 2011 in Kanagawa Prefecture at Hiratsuka University. If there's anybody playing in that area (not bloody likely), PM me or post here. I'd be glad for a friendly pick-up game.

Azerick Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 On Okinawa we have the Kadena AB, Schilling grp. Meets Saturdays starting around 0900 until 1800+, unless they kick us out from renting the room to someone else. We also have a Facebook page ( Tabletop Wargaming Group (TTWG) Okinawa). As for buying models and such here there isn't any cost effective way to do it besides the internet unfortunatly.

Kierdale Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 A Tokyo-player here. Usually play at the Nakano-GW, though I'm also part of a board games group (but being the only 40K-devotee I'll have to have enough for two armies before we get any 40K going there. Perhaps when 6th Ed comes out). For the moment if anyone wants a game at Nakano-GW, shoot me a message.

Kierdale Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 A bit of an update. Having recently moved I now live close to a community center (in Kichijouji in Tokyo) at which I can reserve a room for gaming (for free!). Anyone interested in a game: shoot me a PM.

Da Once & Future Git Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 There's a club in Kyoto that meets at the Yellow Submarine the 2nd Sunday of the month in Kyoto called Pheonix Legion.

We have a privately owned store here in Oita Prefecture in Beppu City. The website for the store is ring-tail.com The store owner`s name is Miyao. He doesnt speak Enlgish, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a link that says English. It will redirect you to a link that has an English webstore. If you get the chance, come over to Kitakyushuu and get in a few games with us. kitaqgamers.com Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136999-japan/page/2/#findComment-3290329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiXeLonPiCNiC Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Greetings I am a Scandinavian, who just moved down to Osaka, where I will stay for at least the next five years of my life. I live in central Osaka, but is willing to travel around Osaka for a few games. My gaming theory is that it should be fun, so I'm not very competitive but into the social aspect of the hobby. I aslo plan to frequent Iconoclasm for their WH40k events, but am hoping for other opportunities as well. Looking forward to sharing laughs, games and hopefully beer with you all.

VulkansDynasty Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just in case anyone happens to live in the Northern parts of Japan. There's a few of us that game out of the Misawa area. Lost a bunch of members to other games, but there are a few dedicated players left. We do enjoy some Apocalypse at times as well! -GKT Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136999-japan/page/2/#findComment-3427788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kierdale, I'll be in Japan from mid-February until the end of March and will be spending most of that time in Tokyo for research. The timeframe is too short to bring my own army, but I wanted to ask whether it's possibly to just pass by anyway :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136999-japan/page/2/#findComment-3548420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked Thespian Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thought I ought to chime in here. I'm living in Japan, and have been for the past four years. I'm based in Gunma, in the heart of the Kanto plain (aka the middle of nowhere ). I'm in the process of building a Space Wolves army, but have almost 20 years of wargaming experience under my belt so even though I ight not be able to play, I'm certainly more than able to have a good chat if anyone's willing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/136999-japan/page/2/#findComment-3568859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
