Rugby in Japan

The game we know best

School and club rugby tours, in the game we know best. We have hosted club and school sides from Buenos Aires through the North Island, including a pre season tour for three teams from one club, a touring party of 100. A rugby tour with us means well matched games, training on good grounds and time with the host team afterwards. Touring sides have had sessions with current Super Rugby coaches, and when the draw allows we get your players to a Super Rugby match. Going the other way, we plan tours for New Zealand sides to Argentina, Australia and beyond.

Japanese teams prepare with a discipline and work rate that visiting players talk about long after they get home, and they host with the same care. A tour here is as much about how the game is prepared as how it is played. From New Zealand, Japan is a direct flight of about eleven hours and only three or four hours behind us, so a school team lands ready to play. School sport there runs through after school clubs that train most days of the year. Rugby has boomed since the 2019 World Cup, football has a national high school championship that fills stadiums, and basketball has grown quickly since Japan helped host the 2023 World Cup. We have people on the ground in both Japan and New Zealand, and we are building this destination through them, one relationship at a time. That means we take on only what we know we can deliver well. If Japan is on your list, talk to us early and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your group.

Rugby Tours in Japan

By arrangement

School and club rugby tours to Japan. Japan hosted the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the game has not looked back. School rugby is serious, with a national high school tournament every winter, and teams train with a discipline visiting players remember. We are building Japan in person, with people on the ground in both countries. That means we take on what we know we can deliver. If your side wants Japan, talk to us early. When to go: the Japanese school year starts in April and summers are hot and humid, so spring and autumn are the months we would point a touring side to.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

How much does a tour cost?

Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.

Can we customise our itinerary?

Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.

What is included in the price?

Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.

Which meals are included?

Breakfasts and dinners are included as standard. Lunches are usually at your own cost, so players can choose for themselves.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.

Do you run multi sport school tours?

Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
