[2026] Easy sports anyone can do. Popular “yuru-sports” (casual/relaxed sports).

Ball-passing game

Caterpillar ball handoff in catching

It’s a game where each team lines up in a single vertical file and transports a ball.

The person at the front holds the ball, passes it to the person behind, then moves to the back of the line, causing the whole line to advance.

The first team to reach the goal wins! Adding rules for how to pass the ball—such as passing it under the legs or over the head—makes it even more fun.

Since it’s crucial not to drop the ball, teamwork becomes very important, helping players develop cooperation and communication skills.

Tri-train

Local Yuru Sports Awards 2019

I think many people enjoy watching rugby, but when it comes to actually playing, it takes courage.

That’s why I’d like to introduce Try Train, a fun way to get a taste of rugby’s atmosphere with ease.

Originating in Yokohama, it’s a sport that combines rugby and railways.

You lie on your stomach on something like a miniature train, glide forward, and score a try.

The indescribable sensation when you glide is quite addictive, and the exhilaration when you score a try is exceptional.

It’s also great that people of all ages can enjoy it.

Tower of Osirius

World’s first! A sport where you compete using butt-writing.

It strengthens lower-body muscles and squatting power, which many kids are weak at.

It’s hugely popular with both adults and children, with many repeat players.

When you draw a circle with “butt-writing,” butts fall from the top of the screen! It’s a territory-claiming sport where the winner is the one who makes lots of big butts fall.

It’s simply fun and really great!

Doodle Walk

A modern version of “geoglyphs” that draws art on the Earth just by walking.

In teams, you follow the city using a map and GPS.

While checking off checkpoints, you aim for the goal, weave through alleys and eaves, and then are amazed when you see the GPS log—the path you walked forms a picture! Anyone can create drawings while strolling around town.

Why not doodle on the Earth with your walk, too?

Boccia

[Miracle] My First Boccia Match and I Pulled Off a Series of Incredible Super Plays!!

Boccia, which originated in Europe and is an official Paralympic sport.

First, a target ball called the jack is thrown.

Players then take turns throwing balls of their own color, and the side whose ball ends up closest to the jack wins.

There is no fixed way to throw—you can kick the ball or use a ramp—so the game can be adapted to the player’s abilities.

Because it can be played while seated, it is also an accessible recreational activity for older adults.

Fluffy Tennis Using Scrap Materials

[Fun for Parents and Kids] Beat the rainy season with 'Fluffy Tennis' made from recycled materials!

Here’s an idea for fluffy tennis using recycled materials.

Tennis usually involves a racket and a ball, but this time let’s try tennis using a plastic bottle and a bag! You’ll need a plastic bottle, a bag, stickers, a pen, and masking tape.

Draw your favorite illustrations on the bag, then fill it with air.

Decorating the plastic bottle freely with masking tape and stickers will get everyone excited.

Work together to keep the softly floating bag from falling.
