A commemorative event began in Koto Ward, Tokyo, where you can experience various para sports before the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
At the venue, Paralympic games can be enjoyed in a slightly different way using the latest digital technology.
In the “Boccia” corner, where you can see how close you can by throwing the ball, the distance from the ball you thrown to the target is displayed on the court.
In the "Wheelchair Road Race" corner, you can experience a virtual experience of driving through the city of the future of Tokyo at a maximum speed of 60 km / h by operating the wheelchair while wearing goggles.
A 5th grade boy from Ibaraki Prefecture said, “I enjoyed the speed and enjoyed it.”
Yukio Yao, director of Tokyo Gas, who hosted the event, said, "I hope you will experience various parasports and get interested in the competition, and feel that you want to support in the next year's competition."
The event will run until 9pm on the 23rd and will continue until the 24th.
