If Ice Hockey doesn't work out for you, or even if you're interested, there is a street hockey league in Tokyo called Tokyo Street Hockey Association. I talked to some of the guys that ran, and they seem like a pretty good group :)

Hockey!

What's the hockey scene like in Japan? What areas would be best for any sort of hockey involvement?

From what I've seen, hockey isn't very big in Japan at all. The only thing I could ever find was a group that plays street hockey in Tokyo once a week. I also had many blank stares at my NY Islanders jersey when I was over there :p

There are many Adult and Professional Leagues. I have met a few goalies that play for teams over in Japan and China online and the ice hockey scene in both countries is growing. It helped for Fukufuji to get in a few NHL games for the Japanese interest to grow.
