Why Are We Doing This?

Hai Navi Group and its collaborators understand the world is advancing at an incredibly alarming rate. Our past methods are no longer adequate in today's world. We must redefine the way we live, work, educate, enjoy our lives, and prepare for the future.

A message from the CEO of Hai Navi Group

Greetings, my name is Ifan Sano, I'm a former professional basketball athlete and serial entrepreneur. I've been living in Japan with my family for over 10 years. My company decided to create a pioneering project that will help solve solutions to some of the issues we face today in living and working. We welcome anyone who wants to support us in this incredible journey. You can also be a part of our culture and contribute by becoming a Premium Member by joining our database of mixed or foreign families living in Japan. This feature will be launched very soon where we can all meet, communicate, collaborate, culminate and grow together as ONE under the umbrella of group economics & politics.

We are doing this for the children and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. We realised that most early-on academic learning systems in the world are not compatible with creating children to become entrepreneurs or elite sports athletes. Our children need to be able to stimulate critical thinking ideas for our future. Our youth also need inspiring traditional cultural compatibility for their upbringing.

Our sports resort will be home to state-of-the-art training facilities, special events, a mesmerising sports bar, restaurant shops, a 4-5-star residence, and an award-winning academic entrepreneurship curriculum with an elite youth basketball association.

We will be working alongside some of the industry's best pioneers in education, athletics, media, hospitality, aerospace and, real estate. We say this as a kind gesture to create something that is compatibly correct and aggregating for our future. We welcome anyone interested in being a part of something amazing for the ages.

Thank you for your time reading and consideration to join us. Allow us to share our project with you.
