Oshino Village will hold its Welfare and Health Festival together with the Oshino Sports Festival on Monday, October 12, 2026. The free indoor program combines health checks and family activities with hands-on para-sports experiences at Oshino Village Gymnasium.
Key Facts For Travelers
What Visitors Can Do
The sports festival is designed to let people experience para-sports regardless of disability. The official flyer lists blind football, wheelchair basketball and flying disc. Activities are scheduled inside the gymnasium, so outdoor weather should not be the only factor in deciding whether to attend.
The linked health festival includes several optional checks and exhibits. The flyer lists movement-function analysis, vegetable-intake measurement, blood-flow measurement, glycated-protein measurement, bone-health measurement, grip-strength testing, body-composition analysis and a pressure-point or massage corner. There are also displays by local organizations, a children’s play area and health consultations. Availability may depend on capacity and the day’s operating conditions.
Timing and Entry
The venue opens at 9:45 a.m. and the opening ceremony is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. The experience program begins at 10:30 a.m. and continues until 3:00 p.m., but the sports desk stops accepting participants at 2:00 p.m.
The official materials state that admission is free and do not list an advance-reservation requirement. Arriving earlier is still sensible because individual checks, experiences and giveaway activities may have their own limits.
What To Bring and How To Plan
Bring clean indoor shoes for the gym floor, a towel and water or another drink in a container with a secure lid. Wear clothing that allows easy movement. If you plan to use health-check equipment, allow extra time and follow staff instructions rather than treating the readings as medical diagnoses.
The village lists parking in front of Oshino Village Gymnasium. Holiday traffic around Oshino and the Fuji Five Lakes can be slow, so allow a buffer and do not block nearby roads or private property if the designated lot is busy.
