the logo

In broad strokes, the burning match is symbolic of our mission to provide a source of light - and hope - in navigating the sports event scene in Japan.

Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the figurative significance of matches in sports. For many of us, the pursuit of sports and athletic challenges light small fires within. Sometimes, we just need a little flicker to spark that determination, to endure, and push through the darkness.

So if you're already down to your last few matches trying to figure out your athletic goals in Japan, you've come to the right place. We're happy to help replenish your matches so that you can focus on everything else. 

the concept

Training and racing in Japan presents unique problems for foreign residents and visitors to Japan - and we're a unique solution. 

​Japan Multisport was borne to meet the needs of foreign nationals seeking to be a part of Japan's sports event and race scene. 

As a fully bilingual Japanese triathlete, Faith spent five years at Samurai Sports helping athletes from all over the world find information about and register for a wide range of races across Japan. As a long-term resident of Japan, Gabriel boasts a wealth of knowledge about training grounds and races throughout Japan (and beyond). Founded with the knowledge and resources from our experiences, Japan Multisport has been a project in the making for years. 

Beyond our expertise in events and races, Japan Multisport also combines more than a decade of triathlon coaching. We know no borders for coaching - men and women of all ages and abilities can work towards their swimming, cycling, and running goals with one of our coaches.
