I was so curious about it since it was introduced on TV and other media. I went to a building along Shinjuku Yasukuni-dori, on the 4th floor. With a chic, spacious dining space, there were the lanes, one-third of the actual bowling lanes. It had a modern, adult atmosphere. "Billi-bowl" is a mixed word of "billiard" and "bowling," a new type of sport. The rule is exactly the same with bowling. All you have to do is hit the bowling ball with the billiard cue and hit the bowling pins. Even frail(?) girls can easily play this game! Actually this sport came out into the world because of the girls' voices; "I don't want to break my nails." "I don't want to take off my boots and wear those ugly shoes." "Bowling balls are so heavy."  <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5091189-h.JPG"><img alt="P5091189-h.JPG" src="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5091189-h-thumb.JPG" width="327" height="245" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5091190-h.JPG"><img alt="P5091190-h.JPG" src="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5091190-h-thumb.JPG" width="327" height="245" /></a><br /><br />And I tried. I haven't played billiard for a long time so I could not use the cue properly and when I actually hit the ball, it was quite difficult. All of them were gutter… The staff came, men around me came, to coach and at last at the third game, I was much better as you can see from the photo. I got 70 points. But when I heard that usually people can easily get 100 points after playing for 3 games, I was pretty much shocked. Oh, well. But I wanted to practice more because I really thought I can do much better. I gave it a rest and watched other people play, eating my crispy pizza peperoncini. It was quite nice watching the match-making group, the boys coaching the girls and the girls shyly hitting the bowling ball. This sport has just come out into the world and starting to become popular, so if I could practice more now and call others to join a little bit later, they will give at me this envious look. It is not a difficult game to play and people of all ages can enjoy. Soon "Billi-bow-com (billiard bowling matchmaking company)", the "Billi-com" will come!?    <br /><br /><a href="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5081127%E3%83%94%E3%82%B6-hp.JPG"><img alt="P5081127%E3%83%94%E3%82%B6-hp.JPG" src="https://www.yokosojapan.net/mt/P5081127%E3%83%94%E3%82%B6-hp-thumb.JPG" width="267" height="200" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Information</strong><br />Party Space with Private Room and Leisure<br />Billi-bow Dining<br />Address: 4F Oriental Wave Bldg., 5-17-13 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0022<br />Tel: 03-5292-3557<br />Open Hours: 2pm - 1am<br /><a href="http://r.gnavi.co.jp/a676905/">http://r.gnavi.co.jp/a676905/</a><br /><br /><strong>For Inquiries:<br /><font color="#FF3366"><strong> Please contact Tsukasaki of Billibow Project</strong></font><br /><a href="mailto:billibow-big-project@hotmail.co.jp">billibow-big-project@hotmail.co.jp<br /></a><br /><br /><br /> </div>        <div class="both10"></div>      </div>          </div>  <!-- end of left_box -->  </div><!-- end of pagebody_outline -->
