We were delighted to come together again with the Rugby Chambers in Japan to mark the 3-month countdown until the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

Taking place at L'espace - the events space at the CCIFJ Tokyo office in Nihonbashi, rugby fans from 6 participating chambers gathered to network and come together through sport.

Special guests former Japanese rugby union player Takashi Kikutani and TV director and rugby journalist Takuji Kimura shared their thoughts on the upcoming Rugby World Cup 2023 and legacy of the Rugby World Cup 2019 still being felt in Japan. It was a delight to get an insight into their personal experiences in Rugby and see special photos from Kikutani's time abroad as a rugby player.

Thank you to the French Chamber of Commerce and Industries in Japan (CCIFJ), the Australian New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ), the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ), the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (CCCJ) and the South African Chamber of Commerce in Japan (SACCJ) for co-organising this special event.
