After enjoying Tsujiri and the walk through Ginza my friends and I met up with some other friends of mine to play futsal. There is not much space in Japan, expecially Tokyo, to play soccer, so a lot of people play futsal. It is very similar to soccer with all the same rules, except the court is much smaller and the teams are 5 on 5. It is actually a little more fun than regular soccer as there is not as much running and there is a lot more actual touching of the ball, shooting, and just playing around. This was my first time to play futsal and my first time to play any kind of soccer since I’ve been in Japan, so I really loved it. I had so much fun and the 3 hours we had to play went by before I knew it.

Playing futsal.

It was really fun. I was actually one of the best players there…

Even the kids enjoyed playing.
