- Day 1 -

July 12 (Fri) Departed from Haneda Airport using Finnair, passed through the Arctic Circle and stopped in Helsinki before heading to Gothenburg.

  

When I arrived at Gothenburg Airport, the bus of the local club team B.K. Häcken welcomed me.

We will board the bus and head to the school where we will be staying. During the tournament, we will all be sleeping and staying in this classroom.

Heading to Heden, the venue for the tournament, to pack our belongings.

The venue on the day before the tournament already had an atmosphere and each team was making adjustments. After exploring the surrounding area while building up the image of the tournament, Tokyo trained on the ground that will be the match venue.

Although there was some fatigue from the move, the start seemed a bit heavy, but before I knew it, I had regained my energy.

We will continue training tomorrow as well in preparation for the first match of the tournament the day after tomorrow, while also experiencing the local culture.
