The BEYOND Hachioji Cup Ignites a Fitness Movement

On October 25, 2025, the second edition of the beauty body contest, the BEYOND Hachioji Cup, will be held at the Hachioji Gakuen City Center, organized by World Fit Co., Ltd.

This year's event has gained support from 30 local companies, making it a significant community event dedicated to health and fitness.
