TOKYO BOWLING CENTER - Musashino

It's a little small, but I'm grateful that there isn't a bowling alley. For children, it is nice for the family to have a slide and a slide that can be made so that there is no garter. I want to use it again.

The receptionist typed on the tablet instead of writing on the application form.

No one screams for Round One, so even small children can rest assured that they are vacant on weekdays. Holidays aren't too crowded for Round One, so it's surprisingly quick. There is a professional goods store inside, and the clerk is very friendly, so it's easy. Junior high school students are quite cheap at 450 yen per game (shoes rental fee is 400 yen) It is advantageous if you become a member (conditions are 18 years old or older) Currently (March 22, 2021) It is closed due to an emergency declaration, but it is open again It's a nice place to go! (Only here, if you connect to the official LINE, you can get really good deals!)

The clerk is very kind It seems to be a sacred place of the final story Hitagi Rendezvous

I'm glad it was free. Prices change in the morning and afternoon.

The predecessor of this bowling center is the “Tokyo Bowling Center” located at Jingu Gaien, the origin of the Japanese bowling boom. Probably not many people have never bowled before. The big bowling boom in the 1970s prompted the opening of an explosive bowling alley in Japan, like a post-rain dredging. That was thanks to the establishment of bowling in Japan. What is the origin of the development of the bowling boom? Investigating, it was the first appearance in Japan that the Dutch built a bowling facility in Nagasaki at the end of the Edo period. Since then, the re-appearance of bowling in Japan has been waiting until the opening of “Tokyo Bowling Center” in Aoyama, Minato-ku, on December 20, 1952. I remembered that the Tokyo Bowling Center was located between Jingu Stadium and Chichibunomiya Rugby Field. Certainly, a junior high school classmate, Mr. T, went to Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama High School and went to see the school building in 1963. At that time, I remembered that there was a large building with “Tokyo Bowling Center” written on a kamaboko-shaped roof across Aoyama High School and the current stadium street. (Photo) At that time, I was not so interested in things before the explosive bowling boom in the 1970s, but I thought I could open the amusement hall in a quiet place with few people. If you feel familiar with a kamaboko-shaped building, it seems that you have dismantled the airplane hangar and assembled it in this area. (Photo) * The atmosphere at that time is quite different from the game landscape after the bowling boom. It seems to be a kind of social venue, where men play suits and ties and women play dresses. (Photo) In 1972, 3,700 bowling alleys were opened nationwide, and the boom was reached. The end of every boom always comes, the number of bowling programs on TV stations has declined drastically, and many bowling magazines have been discontinued, and few people who come to bowling proudly with their own bowls have seen it. However, the Tokyo Bowling Center disappeared from Aoyama and moved to Kichijoji Daiichi Hotel in 1987. There is a monument on the site of Tokyo Bowling in Aoyama. (Photo)
