Looking for a real rugby adventure to the other side of the world? Do you want your students to embrace a truly different, ancient culture through a shared passion for rugby?

Japan is rapidly becoming a sporting powerhouse, thanks to the national team’s incredible performance in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and at the 2016 Olympics. Plus, Japan hosted both the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Olympics!

A land of contrasts, from the heaving megalopolis of Tokyo to the serenity of Mount Fuji, on your school rugby tour to Japan, your players will have the opportunity to enjoy incredible sporting and cultural experiences that very few touring teams ever get the chance to.

Recommended Accommodation

Tokyo Central Youth Hostel

Tokyo Central Youth Hostel occupies the 18th and 19th floors of a high-rise building in a very central location, so offers fantastic views over the city, something not usually offered by this style of accommodation.

The hostel welcomes guests from all over the world and provides Japanese-style shared baths (separate for ladies/gents), a dining room, a meeting room, a lounge and tourist information centre, making this a great base for exploring Tokyo. Please note that the youth hostel has a curfew of 11pm. Individual room and locker keys provided at check-in.
