It was a very entertaining tournament, with hard fought battles to get to the national tournament. Thanks to the support we gained from Daihatsu this year, there was an extra level of energy behind us. It was very encouraging for the players. Player registrations are increasing every year, and badminton is getting more and more popular. The prefecture as a whole is reaching another level, so we are working towards developing high quality players that can perform at the nationals.

I was really impressed by the high level of play and the players’ focused attitude towards their matches.
It was also great that many people used our supporter items, it create a lively atmosphere at the tournament.
The reconstruction support charity fundraising that we collected at the venue will be donated to elementary schools in the prefecture. Thank you so much for your contribution!
