Preparation and Management Committee for ‘Nenrinpic Choju Tokyo 2028’

On July 8, Governor Koike attended the first meeting of the Preparation and Management Committee for “Nenrinpic Choju Tokyo Games 2028.”

The governor stated, “The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has for some time referred to the active ‘longevity’ that enables older adults to lead vibrant, active lives as ‘choju,’ a term that, like ‘tempura’ or ‘sushi,’ could be readily understood worldwide. We believe the key lies in promoting Japan—and Tokyo in particular—as a society of longevity with pride, and we have been advancing various initiatives toward this end. 

“Against this backdrop, ‘Nenrinpic’—a national sports and cultural festival—is set to be held in Tokyo in two years. Seizing this opportunity, we will encourage participation not only from older adults but also from children and young people. Through this event, we aim to create a city where people shine and are full of vitality,” she said.

She went on to say, “Furthermore, we hope to enliven this event as a whole city working together, by leveraging Tokyo’s various strengths, including cutting-edge technology, arts, and culture. I ask for your continued support to ensure the success of this event.”
