[For Adults] Fun Things To Do on a Rainy Day (1–10)
Read books and manga
Once you start reading manga or novels, it’s hard to stop, isn’t it? Doing that on a weekday can leave you sleep-deprived and make work tough, but on a rainy day when you can’t go out, it’s the perfect way to spend your time.
Choosing to stay home and binge-read the works you haven’t gotten around to yet… I think that makes for a truly fulfilling day.
Letting go of your everyday routine and immersing yourself in the crafted worlds of manga and novels can be a great refresh, too.
Put on your favorite music, prepare a drink, and why not spend a leisurely day like that?
Shopping
I think many people tend to stay home on rainy days, but there are also those who still want to go out, right? For those people, I recommend shopping! Going from store to store in the rain can be tough, but if you go to a large shopping mall or a place with an arcade, you can enjoy shopping to the fullest even on rainy days.
Plus, rainy days are usually less crowded, so it might be easier to shop.
This could be a great chance to visit some popular stores, too.
Strength training and stretching
Stretching is said to help relieve stiff shoulders and improve sleep quality.
So why not try some stretching during your time at home on a rainy day? There are many ways to stretch—there are free videos available, and lots of routines are shared on social media, too.
Try searching for a stretch that you’d like to do.
If you feel out of shape, strength training is also recommended! On rainy days, loosen up with stretching and build your body with strength training!
Game
There might be more people than you’d expect who are so busy every day that they can’t find time to play games and end up quitting altogether.
RPGs and the like are fun, but it’s hard to find a good stopping point and they take time, so it’s tough to keep up with them.
However, if it’s a day off and it happens to be raining, you might be able to enjoy them without any hesitation.
If you’re wondering what to do on a rainy day, why not try playing a game you’ve been avoiding? And if you have children, it could be lovely to enjoy a remake of a game you played in your own childhood together with them.
darts
Darts—now that’s what you can call a grown-up hobby.
While darts often bring to mind a darts bar and might feel a bit niche or for enthusiasts, you can actually try it at places like arcades and internet cafés, too.
If you want to take your time and throw in peace by yourself, or play simultaneously with a big group, heading to a darts venue is a good idea.
They say it’s easier to get a good throw if you hold the dart around its center of gravity and don’t put too much force into it.
If you’re not sure what to do on a rainy day, why not take this opportunity to give darts a try?
karaoke
If you want to have fun with friends or family even on rainy days, karaoke is a great option.
While going to a karaoke place is the standard, home karaoke using games like the Nintendo Switch has become popular lately.
Being able to enjoy karaoke at home is convenient, since you don’t have to go out when the ground is wet and slippery.
Karaoke is entertainment that everyone—from kids to adults—can enjoy.
If you’re an adult who hasn’t gone in a while, why not take advantage of a rainy day and give it a try?
Cleaning
On weekdays you have work, and on weekends your schedule is packed, so it’s hard to find time to tidy up your room… Many people can relate.
Still, you probably want to keep things clean! So why not use a rainy day at home to do some cleaning? It feels good when your space is tidy, and playing your favorite music while you clean can lift your mood.
Getting started can feel gloomy, but once you begin, seeing the room get cleaner and cleaner is satisfying, and you’ll feel refreshed!
