International Exchange through Sports Tag by the Representative from Japan
The Japanese national team for sports tag and people from other countries engaged in international exchange through sports tag. The event was held to convey the joy of playing sports tag, a sport that originated in Japan, and the splendor of Japanese culture.
While holding a training camp for the Japanese national team of sports tag, the representative players carried out international goodwill activities as an international exchange event. We had them experience the original “sports tag” of the tag association and “Kotoro Kotoro”, the oldest tag in Japan. We were able to have foreign students from Vietnam, Ghana and half Japanese, participate. The representative players and foreigners actively interacted with each other and cooperated to score points.

Feedback from Participant :
Through playing sports tag, I was happy to be able to interact with the people I met at the event, not my classmates at the university or my colleagues at my part-time job. It was a great honor for some students to be interested in Japanese culture.
