In addition to holding competitions, various exchange events were held. The overseas team held a two-day training camp and took lessons from Japanese leaders and medalists. Participating teams also held exchange meetings between players, and overseas teams also held sightseeing including Dazaifu. Since the tournament venue and accommodation facilities are located in the same facility, the athletes were able to meet and understand each other's culture while staying together.

Feedback from Participant :
Comments from the coach of Conan Judo Club (USA):
It was a unique training camp and competition. It was a great learning experience to gather so many young players from all over the world and get to know each other and practice together. It was an incredibly good experience for me personally and I would love to participate again. I think the children of my team and the children of other teams have had good memories that will never be forgotten on this expedition.
