V.League also has "Fake Home" games. Like this Saitama v Hitachi match is a Saitama home game but it's in Kyoto. The Himeji match was there earlier but the second game of the night gets Real "Fake Home" status. They get a banner hung up at end court
teams have home games and second home games. Hisamitsu home is in Saga but Kobe is their second home. Kobe is literally just east from Himeji but the Springs last life as Daiei Orange Attackers was in Kobe.
This season is terrible. No livestream at all!

I still refer to that map you made. I'm also trying to pay attention to the arenas. All NEC's home games are in Kawasaki, but I think Ota Ward is their "real" home. They are the only team I've seen do a darkened theater flashy lights team introduction. I think those perks have a lot to do with the resources of the arena.
Home/Second homes for teams
Hisamitsu: Tosu, Saga /Kobe, Hyogo

Okayama: Okayama/ none
Victorina: Himeji, Hyogo/ none
Toray: Otsu, Shiga/ Matsuyama, Ehime
JT Marvelous: Osaka/ Nishinomiya, Hyogo
Queenseis: Kariya, Aichi/ Toyota City, Aichi

Ota Ward is literally across the river from Kawasaki and even if you follow the bullet train route that goes right by the NEC facility in Kawasaki (lived in Ota as an exchange student by the bullet train line at Ontakesan and saw the Red Rockets building last year on way to Nagoya for Women’s World Championship last year)
Ota Ward Gymnasium in Tokyo is near Kamata.
This is the first extended playing time I've seen of Mai Irasawa since last season. She looks more grown up and a lot less Frankenstein-y. Good for her

Is Kawasaki considered part of Tokyo? From watching games over the last year or two, NEC and Denso have the most recognizable Home games. Like there is a good community connection. Okayama, and Himeji, seem like they have more passionate fans but fewer resources.
Another Tie Break! I feel bad rooting against Saitama but GoGo Hitachi 
Hitachi OP Miyu Kubota is the real deal 15/28 @55%
Tapp is 13/27, Irasawa is 14/30
Hannah Tapp looks like such a nice girl, then hits the ball like the Big People do

if you said Tokyo metropolitan area, Kawasaki is part of it. From an administrative standpoint (state/prefecture and city) Kawasaki is separate from Tokyo.
Prefectures are like states in the USA.Japan has 47 of them.
Some prefectures have a city and prefecture with the same name (which implies the capital city.

NEC Red Rockets Building in Kawasaki
That link to the NEC Building didn't go anywhere, can you link it again? I'm wondering if you mean it's the building where the girls do data input during the week, or their gym. The reason I asked about Kawasaki is I was wondering about these "first" (and second) Homes. And, if I got it right that Ota Ward is NEC's First Home why it's in Tokyo ... but realize this is a little slippery.
Victorina Himeji's defense is just spot on.
No JT Denso?
JT 25-13 Denso 
Yet we have no stream 
This year’s V-League is just tragic!

V.League team page has Kawasaki as the first home and Ota Ward as second home.
No other team is based in Tokyo in V1.
GSS Sun Beams have Chuo Ward in Tokyo as their home town.
