The Japan Sea Cadet Corp:
The Japan Sea Cadet Corp is a corporation that trains groups of children from kindergarteners up to senior high school students by getting familiar with the sea.
We hope they develop the moral sense necessary for social life and become healthy and strong persons both physically and mentally.
Based on the idea that “Discipline is the foundation of training”, we suggest the following motto to the children and encourage them to put into practice.
“We will unite with a heart as wide as the ocean and be friends with everyone.”
“We will become “children of the sea” by training our body and nourishing our mind.”
Many maritime activities and events are waiting for you!
