TAP JAPAN OPEN 2022 has been cancelled
We would like to inform you officially that TAP JAPAN OPEN 2022 has been cancelled
( not postponed ) .
The reason for the decision to cancel as follows ,

1. Currently , the Japanese government is restricting newly entry of foreign nationals . You
   cannot enter Japan for purposes other than commercial and working purposes . It has not
   been decided when the restriction will be lifted .
2. Due to Russiaʼs military attack on Ukraine , air routes are restricted . Especially in the case
   of traveling from Europe to Japan , it takes a lot of cost and time because it has to be
   detoured considerably .
3. Even if the situation of 1 and 2 improves after March 20, there is not enough time for foreign
   players to prepare for travel and we also donʼt have enough time to prepare for the tournament
   management .
   
   The next TAPN JAPAN OPEN is scheduled to be held in May 2025 .
   
   The health and safety of you all is of utmost importance . We appreciate your patience and
   understanding .
