aoyama pétanque, japan

Aoyama Pétanque was formed out of an informal group of multi-national pétanque enthusiasts who make Aoyama Park their home ground for exiting boules action combined with good wine and food.
The informality in which the group was set up is still an important element for all of Aoyama Pétanque members, although the group does now act like a club in matters such as selection of teams to compete in petanque tournaments, organizing tournaments and training sessions or sponsorship of other events to promote petanque. Since September 2006, Aoyama Pétanque is a fully registered club with the Japan Pétanque Boules Union - JPBU organization. visit their blog
