Thoughts behind the service name “IKKU”
Ageshio Japan is a travel agency specializing in Karate in Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate. We have seen the high level of interest in Okinawa overseas, and have met those who have visited Okinawa from distant countries.
・We want to provide an environment for people, who even after they leave Okinawa, can continue their Karate training with their Okinawan sensei.
・We want to provide more opportunities for people to experience Okinawan Karate.
With this in mind, we started this Karate video streaming service. The name, “IKKU”, is based on the idea of people continuing to do Karate as much and as hard as they can, and we will pursue this service that allows people to continue to do Karate every day, regardless of their location.
