Why You Should Visit

Two days of "Parkour Onigokko" — a one-on-one, 20-second game of tag played across an obstacle course — at the BOAT RACE Biwako venue in Otsu. Drop-in sessions run on both days: Parkour Onigokko itself, a parkour class covering running, jumping and vaulting basics, and an inclusive wheelchair version. Sunday 4 October hosts the Biwako Cup for elementary-school children, whose winners earn a place at the national championship. Free for children, and parents can play too.
