Niigata in The Inaka Basketball

There is a group of ALT's and Japanese people who get together on Wednesday night and play basketball in Fukui city. It's a really fun group and a mix of very talented competitive players and more joking fun games. The ALT's that play there entered a tournament put on by the ALT's in Niigata and I went with them to play.
The Fukui Crabs

It was a ton of fun and the Fukui Crabs came in second place losing in the finals by a single point. It was a great game. After the tournament all the hard working ballers went to the local onsen. With our tournament fees we all got a free pass for the whole weekend. It was a glorious time. The tournament happens both in the summer and winter. Fukui will be looking for revenge come summertime. I'm loving the rekindling of my basketball playing in Japan. Who would've guessed that would happen here of all places?

How crabs cheer for their team mates.
