Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20 years. This is who we are.
In May 2009, Kyokuyo hosted a "reunion" golf tournament inviting former members of the company. This event, although held only irregularly, has a long history. Last year, we decided to renew it as an annually held event under name of "President's Cup" and voilà, it is the second time to host the game.
All our avid readers certainly know that Kyokuyo was founded on October 10 more than 65 years ago and that every year we commemorate this day by hosting a golf event, aka "Kyokuyo Open", where are invited more than 100 players, including our customers, suppliers, subcontractors, employees and friends.
To old residents, name of "Shimonoseki Stadium" sounds specially nostalgic. Long time ago, when whaling business was permitted and active, Shimonoseki had thrived on fishery.
Hello again! I'm Miho Miyaji, secretary of Team Kyokuyo, the softball team we introduced to you in our news073. Today, I am very happy to report you that our team is now proven actually strong, as it won a City Softball Tournament of October 28, 2007, organized by the Shimonoseki Softball Association.
This year too, Kyokuyo hosted a golf tournament now widely known as "Kyokuyo Open" on October 10, its foundation day. As many as 145 guest and host players (in 38 groups!) gathered at Shimonoseki to celebrate the company's 65th anniversary. The sky was clear.
Hello folks, we are a group of (mostly) young sportsmen and a sportswoman working at Kyokuyo. All of us firmly share the same passion for shipbuilding and ... softball! Our squad, called "Team Kyokuyo", is powerful enough to be recognized as one of leading units in the city.
Although "Kyokuyo Open" is not a national premier golf tournament for professional golfers, it is unique match virtually "open" to everybody who has something to do with Kyokuyo, from customers, contractors, suppliers, bankers, to ... pub owners, let alone employees and employers of Kyokuyo Shipyard.
The 45th "Kyokuyo Open" golf match was held on October 11, 2005, under crisp autumn sky. This year, a record number of 125 proud players including our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and employees, gathered at Shimonoseki to win the biggest title of the industry (in my opinion)!
Now that an exceptionally long typhoon season 2004 has finally gone, with a new record number of typhoon landfalls, we have legitimate right to do something for recreation under this clear autumn sky!
On October 10, a fine autumn day, the 42nd "Kyokuyo Open" golf tournament was held to celebrate the anniversary of the company's foundation.
Yes, it's the World Cup!! All of you (except those lucky people with golden tickets) are haunted by TV, aren't you?
