City Wave Tokyo

Just five minutes from Oimachi Station in Shinagawa, City Wave gives you all the thrills of surfing without having to head out to an actual beach. This artificial pool offers waves ranging from 80cm to 120cm in height, and lets you ride on constant and stable waves, which is ideal for learning and developing your own style.

The surfing centre provides lessons (¥6,300 for 50 minutes) for beginners all the way up to advanced levels; there are also special classes for kids over seven years old (¥4,000 for 50 minutes). You can even book the entire surf pool for private use. In any case, City Wave will provide you with a soft surfboard, a wet suit and a helmet for free.
