"We received a comment from Setagaya Ward in regards to the Setagaya Gardening Fair 2025."
Date: June 7th (Saturday) and June 6th (Sunday), 7
Time: 10:00-16:00
Location: Setagaya Park (1-5-27 Ikejiri, Setagaya)
This year's fair will feature a variety of exhibits and experience corners that convey the joys of gardening, as well as a full range of activities that the whole family can enjoy, such as making small gardens, planting flowers, and tree climbing for children.
In addition, this year's fair will feature sporting events such as "Mölkky" and "Boccia".
Mölkky is an outdoor sport that originated in Finland. It is a game in which players compete for points by throwing pieces of wood (mölkky) to knock down numbered wooden pins (skittles). In Finland, it is a casual sport that is played while enjoying a sauna and beer. The rules are simple and anyone can enjoy it, so why not join in with your family and friends?
Boccia is an official Paralympic sport in which participants throw a ball and compete to see who can get closest to the target. The rules are simple, yet highly strategic, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and with or without disabilities, making it popular with a wide range of people.
The sports events will be held in a special area of the Gardening Fair. Sports fans, as well as those who don't usually exercise much, are welcome to participate. Come and have a great time with your family and friends.
Setagaya Ward has established a sports promotion committee to support local sports activities. The sports promotion committee contributes to the promotion of sports in the area by planning and managing local sports events, holding sports classes, and providing sports consultation and guidance. The sports promotion committee works to promote the health and interaction of local residents, and contributes to the development of sports culture in Setagaya Ward.
