Why You Should Visit
A hands-on sports and culture day at Proseed Arena HIKONE and the Jonan Elementary School ground in Hikone. Beginner sessions cover basketball, badminton, naginata, kyudo archery, pickleball, mölkky and more, alongside fitness testing, an esports corner and a sumo-robot building class using blocks. Everything is free, and apart from the robot class there is no need to sign up — just turn up and try whatever catches your eye. It is aimed at all ages, from small children to seniors, and food trucks are expected at the arena.
