Hi,

I will be traveling to Japan next week and will be in Tokyo from the 4th March until the 12th. During this time I was hoping to see some Keirin racing. I have tried to find a schedule in English, but most of it is in Japanese.

Would any one be able to help?

Thanks,
Paul

March Keirin

Paul, Welcome to Japan / TCC !

Tomity, Big Domo. Thats useful for me too. Your main Keirin posts are GREAT, I love em but they are a bit daunting. [ Like my TCC intro !] All the info you ever need is there somewhere but I always get side tracked by all the cool links. I can spend hours. Please keep up the good posting ! THANKS TODO
 
Tomity....awesome info! Thank you very much! Hopefully I will have a few days off to check out some Keirin racing in the near future.

Why do they Keirin during the week ? I must call in sick to work. I AM going Tues. or Wednesday depending on how the boat floats. Thanks again for the GREAT directions Tomity.
and speaking of great directions. Please / Kudasai can you direct me to the Rin Project ? I think I can find it if I only could figure out what train station is nearest. I have copy'd the map off the website. I really really want one of those cool black leather hair nets with a visor. Made in Japan and they are of better quality than the old Cinelli.

THANK YOU TODO

KS, Mmmmmm YES I did see that, and I took down all the information and made a copy of the map. However It's still Kanji to me. Evenso the street names are in English, I still don't know what train station is nearby or even what neighborhood of Toyko it is in. Yes I AM ignorant sorry. I was going to look yesterday and would have tried from Tokyo station ? THANKS TODO

Go to Ueno station and go out the east exit. Get to Asakusa dori and then follow the street untill the map can guide you, which is the third right after Macdonalds. Good luck.
