Creating valuable interactions and communication through sports

About Us

Japan Sports & Tourism Premier’s vision is “creating valuable interactions and communication through sports.”

Through the experience of heading the sports sector at a major Japanese travel agency for more than 20 years, our CEO has accumulated knowledge on the sports business from many acquaintances and friends in Japan and around the world.
Japan itself overflows with opportunities to revitalize local governments and grow private companies further by making use of sports on the level of Europe, the United States, and Australia. Through this company, our founder is committed to developing “sports and tourism” and “sports and hospitality” in Japan from a global perspective tailored to future market trends and the business environment, and thereby contributing to the society. We look forward to discussing and exploring these possibilities with you.
