Register first. People whose address is outside Tokyo can register too, Tokyo's government says.
Registering online needs a phone that can receive SMS. Without one, register at the counter of a metropolitan park that has sports facilities, with ID. We could not find out whether a foreign phone number or a passport works.

From the 22nd of the month before, free slots are booked first come, first served. There is no same-day booking at the counter. On the day, show your registration card and ID at the counter at least 15 minutes before your start time.
