Introducing the XNUMX “Charespo! TOKYO” event!

On Sunday, December XNUMX, XNUMX, we held a hands-on para sports event called "Chalespo! TOKYO."

This year, when the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics were held, we set up a hands-on exhibition booth for parasports, including Paralympic sports, and held an awards ceremony for medalists residing in Tokyo at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, as well as a talk show by the medalists.

We also welcomed comedian duo Shizuru, Hiking Walking, para support ambassadors Daisuke Uehara, Miho Nijo, and Hiroshi Miura as guests, and held a stage program including a quiz competition and competition introductions.

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the venue will take measures such as temperature checks and disinfection upon entry, and as online content, stage programs and some competition experiences will be streamed on YouTube, as well as a "straw archery experience" using Zoom. And many people enjoyed it.

You can view the archived video of the day on the event homepage until March XNUMX, XNUMX.
