Theme of the boat
'DE LIEFDE' (The love)
Named after the first Dutch ship to arrive in Japan on April 19, 1600, and called ‘the love’, the boat symbolises the love and hope we believe can overcome discrimination through sports. We also see this as a way to see the love return back again from Amsterdam in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 420th anniversary of the two nations’ first contact
The message of the boat
‘See you in Tokyo’
Pride House Tokyo would like to welcome all LGBT athletes, allies and their friends to Japan. We want people from all over the world to know at the Pride House Tokyo there will always be a safe place for them to gather during their stay.
