This project provides the public with opportunities to experience all 55 sports of the Tokyo Games by 2020, having offered 34 sports across its previous four events.
This time, booths and stages will feature experiences for 10 Olympic sports, including handball and weightlifting (both making their debut), and 4 Paralympic sports. The Games mascots, Miraitowa and Someity, will also make an appearance.
Additionally, themed "Children's Day Young Athlete Special!", many athletes close in age to the children are scheduled to participate.
On the 5th, a ceremony will be held with Olympians Yuko Oga (basketball) and Kana Oyama (volleyball), alongside young athletes such as Sota Akagi (cycling), Mayu Takano (karate), and Katsuya Hashimoto (wheelchair rugby).
