Introducing varieties of attractive sports travel

We not only promote Okinawa's perfect sporting environment year-round but also aim to extend and establish sports tourism as a new tourism content. We deliver a wide range of information on sports activities held in Okinawa such as marathon and cycling race, as well as offering "something extra" during the travel for golf enthusiasts and general tourists who are looking for active events during the travel.

A paradise of outdoor sports—Okinawa

During a sports event, not only an excitement from the game but also engaging with roadside supporters or local people before and after the event is a part of its charm. In addition to general sightseeing, we recommend activities like YOGA and SUP which you can fully experience Okinawa's rich nature. Also, there are special trips arranged to watch professionals play basketball, soccer or handball games too.
