“Pickleball is inherently social, and travelers are planning around friends and family, wanting a court in the morning, something to explore in the afternoon, and a comfortable place to stay. At Agoda, we're making it easier to find stays near great courts, including in destinations travelers may not have considered yet, so the trip is as rewarding as the game.”
SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The pop of a ball against a paddle has become a familiar sound in parks and resorts across Asia, drifting out from beachfront courts at sunrise and hotel lawns at dusk. Easy to learn and highly social, pickleball is ideal for groups of friends and families, and travelers now plan whole trips around it. Digital travel platform Agoda is highlighting six destinations where players can book courts easily, enjoy good weather and still have plenty to explore once the last rally ends.
Few places combine a serious pickleball facility with a hot-spring town quite like Inatori, on the Izu coast. Izu Resort Villa's recently opened complex, described as Japan's largest, gives players room to settle in for a long morning of doubles. In early spring, the town is hung with traditional silk hina-doll decorations, and early cherry blossoms open along the nearby Kawazu River. After a morning on court and an afternoon among the blossoms, the day ends the right way: soaking in an onsen.
