Kumamoto is located less than a two-hour flight away from Tokyo. The German town Heidelberg is the a partner city of Kumamoto and back in 2017, the President of the German Swimming Federation, Gabriele Dörries, met a Japanese delegation in Heidelberg to fix the cooperation.

The friendship, hospitality and helpfulness are really great.”explained Henning Lambertz, German head coach swimming. “It’s kind of a dress rehearsal.”
