For traveling companions who love nature.
All the answers lie in the journey. Let's continue our journey in search of encounters with people and nature.
" Be careful, but don't be afraid."
With these words in mind, spend time with friends who understand and forgive each other.
Mountain climbing, skiing, traveling, and even life should all be the same.
If so, an unknown virus and an unknown slope should be the same.
All the answers are in the journeys. Keep Traveling to meet people and nature. " Take care, but be brave". With those words in mind, spend time with link-minded friends who can acknowledge and forgive each other. Mountaineering, skiing, traveling, and even life should be the same. Then, unknown virus or unknown slopes is exactly the same, right?
For fellow travelers in nature.

Who we are
Sputnik is a production company founded by a team of friends with over 20 years of experience in the outdoor industry in various fields such as brand sales, buyers, and shop managers.
We were playmates who loved outdoor activities and spent time exploring mountains all over the world, such as mountain climbing, skiing, kayaking, and camping. I want to propose to the world things and values that I believe in. We continued to have such thoughts.
Sputnik is the name of the former Soviet Union's artificial satellite, which became the first human to fly into space in the late 1950s. The original meaning of the word is ``accompanied'' in Russian, but it later came to mean ``fellow traveler,'' and was given to the artificial satellite that orbits the Earth.
Currently, as an official brand import agent, we carry out brand retail operations at 250 stores across Japan and provide consulting services for domestic brands and retailers, while continuing our journey of play and exploration throughout Japan and around the world. I am. In our shop, we introduce new outdoor culture that we have encountered through such travels.
What we do
Sputnik Co., Ltd. imports and sells European and American outdoor sports brands. We have concluded exclusive importer and exclusive distributorship agreements in Japan with each brand sold at our Sputnik Shop, and our products can be purchased at 250 outdoor shops across Japan.
In addition, we utilize our many years of experience in the outdoor industry to provide consulting services for brands and retailers. Our work covers a wide range of areas, including consulting services such as branding, marketing, and buying, advisory services such as market research analysis, sales strategy planning, and human resources training, and production services such as support for shop and product development. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
