Football. New connections. Room to grow.
Explore the experience ↓Planned for September 2027Everything for football.
01 / THE PURPOSE
More than football.
Football brings us to Japan. The people we meet and the experiences we share make the journey bigger than the game.
Our aim is to give players opportunities to challenge themselves, connect with others and take more responsibility—on the pitch and in everyday life.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
A new environment.
A different perspective.
02
Connect with people
Getting to know local players and people is part of the experience. We want players to communicate, show respect and build connections beyond their usual circle.
03
Grow beyond the pitch
Looking after their belongings, preparing for the day and supporting teammates: everyday moments can become opportunities to practise independence and responsibility.
These are program aims. Teams, matches and activities for 2027 are still to be confirmed.
2026 / TOUR JOURNAL
What the experience looked like.
Real moments from our 2026 tour. The 2027 program is still being arranged; these photos show past experiences, not a confirmed itinerary.
01
Football in Japan
Playing with local teams brought our players into a different football environment. The experience continued beyond the final whistle, with time to meet and connect with other players.
02
School visits
Visiting local schools created opportunities to meet students and experience a different side of life in Japan.
03
People make the experience
Meeting local people, spending time with other players and sharing food were all part of the journey.
04
Explore, try, enjoy
Away from football, players explored Japanese culture and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding together.
05
Everyday moments matter
Shared meals and downtime were part of living together. Players also hung up their own laundry and took time to write about the day—small, practical opportunities to take responsibility and reflect.
THE F.STYLE APPROACH
Not a tour.
A football experience.

04 / FOR FAMILIES
Before you decide.
Will players compete as an F.Style team?
We aim to form teams within each age group. Where numbers and competition conditions allow, we will seek tournament entry and matches as F.Style. If a full team cannot be formed, we will arrange participation in local-team training and matches, subject to host availability. Tournament entry is not guaranteed.
How will training groups be organised?
Training and match arrangements will consider age, ability and physical development. Suitable players may be considered for training with first-year Japanese senior high school players, depending on host arrangements. This is an optional opportunity, not a guaranteed part of the program.
Do players travel on the same flights?
As a rule, all players travel together on the designated outbound and return flights. Airfares are separate from the tour fee. Return transfers between the designated Japanese airport and Shimabara are included for players. Flight details will be announced once confirmed. Please wait until the tour and designated flights are confirmed before booking airfares.
Can our child arrive early or stay longer with family?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If your child will travel to Japan with family before the tour or remain in Japan with family afterwards, please contact Tatsuya before booking flights. We will coordinate individual meeting and departure arrangements.
Can parents travel to Japan too?
Parents are welcome to travel to Japan, but their travel and stay are separate from the player program. Players live together in separate accommodation, with the aim of experiencing life away from their parents and taking responsibility alongside teammates.
What do parents need to arrange?
Parents arrange and pay for their own accommodation, transport between the airport and Shimabara, rental cars and other personal travel. F.Style can provide basic information and answer questions about arrangements; bookings and transport arrangements are the parents’ responsibility.
Which activities can parents attend?
Parents may watch training and matches. Meals, school visits and other player-program activities are generally not open to accompanying parents. Parent participation in activities such as SUP is currently undecided and will depend on numbers and host conditions.
What details are still to come?
The final itinerary, flight details, accommodation, supervision and emergency arrangements, booking deadlines, payment schedule and cancellation terms will be provided as planning is finalised.
