The Quartier Ouest association, in partnership with Sapsnshoes, presents its Frenchies Love Tokyo project, whose objective is to organize a trip to Tokyo, departing from Paris, from Saturday to Saturday 2027 (13 nights).
PS : The dates will be known soon, but there are two options: either the April 2027 holidays, which is cherry blossom time and the crowds are huge, or the All Saints’ holidays in October 2027, which is a bit calmer.
The Quartier Ouest association, located in Normandy, has more than 15 years of existence to the point of being considered as a reference in France and internationally, in the organization of sporting events related to basketball. Among the latter, we can find internships for young people, humanitarian missions, but also tournaments, the most famous of which is called the Quartier Ouest. This event brings together professional and amateur players from the four corners of France, Europe, Africa, the USA and even Japan. We were able to see in particular the French international Nicolas Batum, player of the NBA team of the Los Angeles Clippers.
The organization builds its own trip and offers it directly to its members, without going through intermediaries.
Our trips are open to everyone, without any age or gender restrictions. Whether you are a minor or an adult, parent or child, fan of the orange ball or not, this trip is made for you!
TOKYO
For those who don’t know or know little about this fascinating metropolis, Tokyo stands out for its unique contrast between ancient traditions and futuristic modernity, where centuries-old temples, towering skyscrapers, and green spaces coexist in perfect harmony.
Among the iconic locations that make the city famous, we find Shibuya and its famous crossing, Shinjuku, the economic and nightlife heart, Asakusa and its Senso-ji temple, Akihabara, a hub of pop culture, and Harajuku, a symbol of creativity and urban fashion.
With more than 37 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, Tokyo is the largest urban area in the world and a true cultural crossroads, where Japanese traditions and international influences blend together. From Ginza to Roppongi, each neighborhood offers a unique atmosphere and experience.
Tokyo is also a stronghold of Asian and global sport. The city is home to iconic clubs such as the Yomiuri Giants (baseball), FC Tokyo, and Tokyo Verdy. The Tokyo Sumo Tournament embodies the country’s traditional sporting soul, while the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games definitively established the city among the world’s sporting capitals.
But Tokyo is also a city focused on well-being and leisure: urban parks like Ueno Park or Yoyogi Park, hiking near Mount Takao, traditional baths (onsen), world-renowned gastronomy, and unique cultural experiences.
For the most curious and adventurous, Tokyo is an ideal starting point to explore Mount Fuji, the historic cities of Kyoto and Nikko, the beaches of the Izu Peninsula, or the Ogasawara Islands.
Among all the great metropolises of the world, Tokyo stands out as one of the most captivating, dynamic, and exotic cities, offering an incomparable experience to every visitor.
