COVID-19 Update
After the centre's re-opening in June, programs are gradually re-starting according to the needs of their respective activities, instructors, and participants.

Unfortunately, badminton groups are not accepting new members at this time. Please confirm in advance with the instructor for all other programs if you wish to join for the first time.
All other programs are monitoring the situation and planning for a return in the fall or later. We will try to keep this website updated, but before planning to attend a regular program, we recommend confirming with the program instructor if their contact information is listed, or if not, with cnakagawa[at]nikkeiplace.org.
