[2026] Easy Sports Anyone Can Do: Popular Yuru Sports (11–20)
Ultimate Frisbee
Many of you probably own dogs or simply love them.
That’s why I’d like to recommend a sport you can enjoy with your dog: Inutimate Frisbee.
In this game, a team is made up of three people and two dogs.
Players advance by passing the Frisbee, and you score when a dog catches the Frisbee within the opponent’s territory or enters it while holding the Frisbee.
It’s interesting that only the dogs can score.
This seems like a great way to deepen your bond with your dog.
Plus, their adorable antics are sure to be soothing.
Tonton Voice Sumo
Paper sumo, a game we played as kids.
This is that paper sumo turned high-tech: “Ton-Ton Voice Sumo.” Put on a head mic and go “ton-ton” with your voice—your volume makes the ring shake and light up.
As we get older, our throats grow weaker, but the best training is to use your voice.
With a laid-back sport like this, you can have fun and train at the same time—two birds with one stone.
fartlek running
This is a competition called “Variable Pace Run,” performed while sitting on a seat that detects human movement.
In the “Calm Course,” the character on the screen runs faster when you remain still and quietly regulate your breathing with deep breaths.
Conversely, in the “Rapid Course,” the character moves by swinging your arms and legs.
Rather than flailing around, the key to running faster is balanced movement from left to right.
PlanetaLiuming
A planetarium projected across the entire wall, climbing up a starry sky—Planetariuming.
It’s a sport that combines a planetarium with bouldering.
The holds are arranged to form constellations, and the next hand or foothold lights up to guide you.
If you slip and fall, you become a shooting star.
It’s a beautiful, slightly romantic, laid-back sport that really lifts your spirits.
Hat Rugby
This is a game called Hat Rugby, where you see if you can reach the goal without dropping a rugby ball balanced on a fedora.
You score points by making a try at the goal without dropping the ball.
You may swat the ball to knock it off when passing an opposing team, but otherwise you must not use your hands.
If you drop it, you have to start over from the starting point.
Teams compete on how many tries they can successfully make.
Turnip dinner tonight.
Among yuru-sports, this one is particularly unique—and tonight’s “Turnip Dinner” is highly recommended.
It blends cooking with sports.
First, players draw a card.
On it are the name of a dish and a cooking method.
However, the only tools used are a turnip-like item equipped with sensors and some cooking utensils.
That way, you can enjoy movements that are simpler yet more dynamic than actual cooking.
Another highlight is the wide range of difficulty in the cooking tasks, so you can keep playing for a long time without getting bored.
Bob Isley
If you’re looking for an activity that makes the most of teamwork, “Bobisleigh” is perfect.
It’s similar to bobsleigh.
First, the player sits on a dedicated seat.
When the seat moves, the on-screen athlete moves in sync.
However, the player cannot see the screen.
That’s where a second player watches the screen and gives instructions.
Not being able to see the screen adds a thrilling sense of suspense.
I hope you’ll try this challenge with someone close to you and put your teamwork to the test.
Face match
Guaranteed to make you laugh, we present Face Match.
First, two players stand in front of the screen.
Various facial expression icons appear on the display; players align their faces with the icons and mimic the same expression.
Facial expression recognition determines whether they match, and if they do, points are awarded.
The player who earns the most points wins.
It gets you moving just enough, and it’s sure to entertain spectators as well.
The inclusion of features like combos adds depth to the rules, which is another appealing aspect.
Electric Hot Spring
Hot springs as a sport? It feels a bit strange, doesn’t it.
This “Electric Onsen” lets you play and compete with digital content projected onto the bathwater while you soak.
The rules are: you must stay in the bath the whole time, and if your lower body comes out of the water, you’re out.
It sounds simple, but you’ll need to be careful not to get overheated!
Kaji-cise (a portmanteau of household chores + exercise)
For those thinking, “Is there any exercise I can do at home?” I’d like to introduce “housework-cise.” First, point to and confirm the spots you’ll clean, then start with some stretching.
After that, move on to the actual cleaning—er, housework-cise.
For example, when wiping low windows, give your calves a good stretch; when vacuuming, stretch your Achilles tendons.
There are movements tailored to different cleaning tasks.
Check the motions that match the areas you want to clean.
