Off topic but still track related, does anyone know if there is track racing in the Tokyo or West Tokyo area?

I am interested in points racing/mass start events.....Madison racing would be awesome.

Track racing seems like the perfect match for Tokyo/Urban areas. Closed venue, shorter races (less training needed) and easy to put hold events.
