skateboarding in japan

Skateboarding in Japan is like anywhere in the world, and at the same time it's totally different. Skateboarding is not as popular in Japan as ice skating, but it has a large space.

In japan there is no law against skateboarding, but the police don't like the practice. Unfortunately, Skateboarding is still mostly seen related to Drugs and delinquencies, but this is quite different with the attitude of Japanese skaters, who are quite polite and don't have a half-punk style.

Where to Skate?

Tokyo is perfect for skating, the streets are great and it has a more accessible rink. In addition, there are thousands of parks and other places to venture out.

We recommend Miyashita and Shin-Yokohama parks in Tokyo. But remember that it is necessary to wear helmets to avoid problems.

The best time to meet skaters on the street is between 1:00 and 4:00, as Tokyo city is crowded at all times.

Skate in Japan

If you're going to a country town, don't worry. The cities of Japan are usually deserted, with streets that look like labyrinths, a peaceful scenery and full of obstacles.

But in Japan most skaters ride in a group, in secluded places or at night to avoid problems.

Skateboarding in Japanese

  • Skate in Japanese is spoken Sukeeto (スケート) or sukeetoboodo (スケートボード);
  • Skating or skating is said: sukeetingu (スケーティング). Now skater or skater can say suke-ta (スケータ);
  • Skateboarding in Japanese is sukeetoboodingu and can be abbreviated as sukebo;

Skateboarding is rapidly growing across Asia. Still, it has a long way to go before it reaches the same level as skateboarding in the west. One of the things that makes skateboarding difficult in Japan is the high price of parts, wheels, decks, etc.
