  • Your tour, your balance. Mostly football, mostly Japan, or an even mix. We shape the matches, clinics and sightseeing around what your group wants, and match opponents to your age groups and level.
  • One team from first email to your last day in Japan. We plan the football and the trip around it: hotels, transport and sightseeing.
  • Bilingual staff on the ground every day. English and Japanese, for coaches and for parents.
