Office for Sports Promotion

We will be implementing the "Tokyo Paralympic Athlete Discovery Program" again this year so that as many athletes with ties to Tokyo as possible can participate in the Paralympic Games.

This year as well, we will hold a ``Experience Program'' that anyone can participate in, and a ``Practice Program'' that allows those who have a habit of exercising to deepen their competitive experience. The September program is an "experience program" for visually impaired people.We look forward to your participation.
