Greeting

Since Tsubame's debut, the “spinning top craze” has reached unprecedented heights. What was once just a toy for children is transforming into a lifelong hobby, and I feel a whole new culture of top spinning is emerging, with entirely different ways of playing.

We deliberately avoided using terms like “tournament” or “contest” as the main focus. This stems from our desire to create two days where everyone at the venue—participants, spectators, exhibitors alike—can experience the joy of spinning tops together, turning it into a festival. This also stems from a desire to bring the excitement we felt at the Kendama World Cup®️ into the spinning top world.

Competition is just one reason for everyone to gather and have a great time. Even if you don't compete, come experience the Spinning Top World Cup! It's a place to connect with fellow top enthusiasts and see the incredible variety of tops and tricks out there.
