Get Hakoniwa Shou-ekiden 2 for PC

Hakoniwa Shou-ekiden 2 is a small-scale ekiden simulation in which you manage both a struggling high school team and a struggling university team. The game’s fictional ekiden community holds two high school meets and three university meets each year. You can aim for the top of the sport, focus on the records, or play at your own pace without pursuing a particular goal.

Teams and runners

The high school competition includes 1,741 schools with 15 runners each, for a total of 26,115 athletes. The university competition has 40 schools with 40 runners each, or 1,600 athletes. They train to compete in ekiden races and pursue the top of the sport.

New high school students arrive in April. University teams can recruit from 8,705 high school seniors that month, with runners from the high school you manage given priority for selection.
