Today is a national holiday in Japan - Sports Day. It is held annually on the second Monday in October and commemorates the opening of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and exists to promote sports and an active lifestyle. The first Sports Day was held on October 10, 1966, two years after the 1964 Olympics. In 2000, as a result of the Happy Monday System, the holiday was moved to the second Monday in October.
