I'm going to be in Japan for a few weeks in January and was wondering if there are any Keirin races I might be able to attend. Do they run year round? How would I go about finding a schedule?

Anybody got more advice than "look for a local velodrome"? Pretty sure they do run year round, since part of the original purpose of track racing was being able have races regardless of weather.– freiheitCommented Aug 25, 2011 at 22:25

2One clarification: are you looking for races to watch, or races to participate in?– freiheitCommented Aug 25, 2011 at 22:26

If you need help translating the page, Google Chrome's auto-translation is pretty good.
I was recently in Japan recently and I remember there were races at the velodrome in Nara.
Here is a list of velodromes in Japan which can translate to English. At the top there are a list of velodromes that have races today and tomorrow. It seems the official schedule can’t be translated on google chrome on the phone but might be able to on a laptop.
Here is a like to the Nara Keirin website. Looks like there are some events on today and tomorrow
