Replay: 2018 Highlights

From the peak of the northern Japan Alps to the beaches of Honolulu, it’s been an eventful year for us at Samurai Sports!Β We’ve collaborated with a wide range of organizers and supported everything from triathlons to half marathons, sumo and cycling.Β To the athletes, the race staff, and everyone we’ve worked with in any capacity, we thank you for giving us so many opportunities to travel Japan and the world!Β 

In our second year, it hasn’t all been easy as we encountered new dilemmas and debated various issues. As we continue to develop and secure firm footing in the sports industry here in Japan, growing pains are inevitable. Not everything has always been perfect but you all have stuck with us through thick and thin. We are so glad to work with folks who lift us up.Β 

We appreciate each and every one of you for supporting Samurai Sports. We love what we do and we can’t wait to bring more events to you in 2019. See you next year!Β
