JOPT 2026 Tokyo #03
8 – 12 Oct 2026 · Bellesalle Takadanobaba, Japan
Japan's flagship tour returns to Shinjuku in October for five days, and the schedule says more about the state of Japanese poker than any headline buy-in: a Main Event you enter with a ticket won in a local club, and a mixed-game card deep enough to embarrass most European festivals.
