Today is a national holiday in Japan - Sports Day. The first Sports Day holiday was held October 10, 1966, two years after the opening of the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics. In 2000, it was moved to the second Monday in October, as a result of the Happy Monday System. The holiday promotes sports and a healthy lifestyle.

I passed Ajimoto Stadium and there must have been some sporty family events because we saw lots of families going there in high spirits.
It's a rainy day today and I didn't go out. I will get exercise next weekend.
I hope you did something sporty!
I don't like sports much, but I can still appreciate this holiday!
