冒険 means adventure
Bouken is ten days where Jiu-Jitsu meets the country that shaped it — train on the mats that made the art, then go live everything beyond them. Tokyo, Toyama, Kobe. World-class rounds, ancient shrines, bullet trains, and a crew that turns into family. Not a tour. An escape.

The First Ever
Be part of the first one
This is the inaugural Bouken — the origin story. No highlight reel, no reviews to scroll, because it hasn't happened yet. That's exactly the point: you're not booking a polished package off a shelf, you're joining the first crew to ever do this. A small group, one trip, the start of something.
