Tournament venue

The 3rd floor of Bunkyou Ward Office, 1-16-21 Hakusan, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo

Ouisen, which started in 1994, is one of the four major Backgammon titles in Japan. A diverse group of foreign players participate in this prestigious event. Defeating many of the top Japanese players is the path one must follow to win the Championship. 2017 marks the 24th Ouisen Tournament. We are proud that the game of Backgammon has become such a tradition in Japan while its popularity continues to grow.

Japan is most beautiful in the Fall. October is the premier month for sightseeing as the leaves gradually change from one color to the next. Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Olympic games. Near the city center is the Bunkyou Ward Office where we will battle for the title of Ouisen. 
With open hearts, we welcome you to visit Japan and join us for this long running tradition.
