スポーツの秋 Sports in Japan & Paper Sumo Wrestling Game! 
OCTOBER 1 - OCTOBER 31, 2017

Boston Children's Museum, Japanese House,
308 Congress St., Boston, MA 02210



Autumn, especially October, is considered the best season to play sports in Japan, and many schools and communities hold their annual sports festivals.  For schools, this is usually one of the biggest events of the year. It is also an occasion for family and community to get-together.

Kids in Japan play many of the same sports we play in the United States, such as basketball, baseball, and soccer, but a traditional Japanese sport called sumo wrestling is still considered the national sport.

In the Japanese House, visitors are invited to learn about what sports kids in Japan enjoy these days and create a paper Sumo wrestling game to take home. What sports do you think are most popular in Japan today? Sumo? Baseball? Soccer? Karate? 

During the busy days, they will have the guided tours of the Japanese House to accommodate the crowds. During the busy times, they will not have the activity in the Japanese House in order to accommodate the crowds.

Japanese House has limited hours. Please check the specific hours on the day of your visit.
