- Day 1 and 2 -

On March 24th (Sun), we all gathered at Narita Airport and departed, passing through Abu Dhabi International Airport, and arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport on the morning of the second day! The total travel time was over 20 hours, but we arrived safely!

After arrival, we will tour the city of Paris during the day. We will take a commemorative photo in front of the iconic French building, the Arc de Triomphe, located in Place Charles de Gaulle. We were all overwhelmed by its grandeur and took a photo together!

And, at lunch, we enjoyed authentic French cuisine!
The players had various reactions to the authentic French cuisine.

During the Seine River Cruise, the same route used for the athlete's entrance at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony was taken. And as the symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower appeared alongside and the athletes were thrilled. They took a commemorative photo together. In addition, they seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the trip while looking at the different cityscape from Japan.

Entered the dormitory in the evening, then lightly sweated on the field, and finished the second day after having dinner.

The players who were excited throughout their first overseas experience, some of them were tired from the long journey, and the players' conditions were varied. We want to recover properly and prepare for the training match on the third day. We will make this fruitful trip to France a valuable experience for the players to grow significantly.

The first and second days were a very educational time, where I experienced things I had never experienced before with all five senses.
