 Hi, my name is Hideki. Today, I am going to introduce a special day in Japan. In Japan, there are a lot of the special days.

I chose “Health and Sports Day”. Do you know about meaning of the special day?

Health and Sports Day is to encourage people to play sports and cultivate a healthy mind and body. 

This day was made because of  the opening ceremony of   Tokyo Olympics which was held in 10.10.1964.

                        

Sports festivals are often held on this day.

Especially, elementary school, junior high school, and high school held sports festivals, and students are very excited.

However, fathers who usually don’t exercise, often  go to the hospital after they are injured at school festivals.

Thank you for reading!! If you interested in Health and Sports Day, I’m so happy!! See you.
