Japan Badminton Camp
Konnichiwa, badminton players! 🏸
Would you like to train in one of the world’s strongest badminton nations, while experiencing the unique culture, traditions, and modern lifestyle of Japan?
Japan Badminton Camp 2026 is our annual highlight, a two-week high-intensity training experience that combines unique coaching methods, international sparring, and the opportunity to compete in an international tournament, Omotenashi Cup, held in Kyoto at the end of the camp.
No matter your level, we believe every player should try it at least once. What makes badminton in Japan stand out is not only the technical knowledge of the sport but also the cultural values behind it. Japanese players grow up with discipline, teamwork, and respect as part of daily life, and these values are clearly reflected on court. This creates a unique contrast to what is taught in other parts of the world.
Beyond badminton, you will get to experience Japanese culture, from the warm hospitality of the people to the structured and harmonious way of daily living. To truly understand why Japanese badminton stands apart, it needs to be experienced in its daily training environment. This camp is not only about improving your badminton level. It is about understanding a different badminton culture, and experiencing a country where respect, discipline, and attention to detail are part of everyday life, both on and off the court.

To create your own badminton camp experience in Japan, start out with completing the
registration form. This first step should be regarded as more of an initial reservation or expression of interest, rather than a confirmed and definite booking. Shortly after your reservation, we will get in touch with you through email or WhatsApp to discuss the details of your inquiry.
If you are traveling as a group from the same club or country, we recommend making a group booking to be able to claim a discount on the training fee. However, you are of course welcome to register and join us as a solo traveler.

The badminton camp takes place in various school halls around Tochigi Prefecture, just outside Utsunomiya. These halls are regularly used for local sports and provide a great setting for our training camp.
The facilities are clean and spacious, with wooden floors and high ceilings, ideal for badminton. We select venues close to the accommodation, making it easy and convenient to get to and from training. For those who prefer a bit more independence, bike rentals are also available.
Tochigi offers a quiet, local atmosphere, while still being close enough to Tokyo with the Shinkanzen bullet train, if you feel like exploring on days where we are free. Around the hotel and badminton halls, you will find plenty of small shops, restaurants, and convenience stores for anything you might need during your stay.

During the camp, you will stay in a modern and comfortable 3-star hotel just a short 5–10 minute drive from the badminton hall. Each player has a private room with everything needed to rest well after training, a cozy bed, air conditioning, desk space, TV, and a private bathroom.
The accommodation is right beside the local train station, which means you can easily go into town for food, coffee, or a quiet walk, or even take a direct train to Tokyo in about an hour if you would like to explore on your rest day.
It’s a place that offers both comfort and convenience, giving you the space to relax, recover, and enjoy a little bit of Japanese daily life in between your sessions on court.
📌 For players who prefer a simpler stay, a budget-friendly option is also available near the hall, a practical choice if you mainly need a place to rest between sessions. Please mention it in your camp inquiry or send us a quick WhatsApp message to explore this option further.
