Taking advantage of its location in the internationally-open rural area, with the Niseko Classic, an international competition setting as a main event, we held events for everyone from local residents to tourists to participate in.
Considering the fundamental differences in physical fitness between different age and gender that exist in sports, we will create an environment in which everyone can easily participate by offering events with concepts that are suitable for each category.
In addition, we will raise awareness of daily exercise habits by actively organizing sports events.
3. Building a sustainable society
7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
In contrast to the Mamachari (city bike), which is synonymous with bicycles for Japanese people, sports bicycles still have a minor role to play.
Sports bicycles are not only eco-friendly, clean, and useful as a means of transportation, but also come in a variety of forms and price ranges, and can be used for a long time depending on maintenance.
By publicizing these characteristics at the events, we will discover potential customers, promote wider use of the technology, and raise awareness of the importance of environmental issues.
