Bringing the Joy of Physical Activity to Local Children

Even before the facility’s official opening, Shinrakudo has been planning outreach programs with nearby after-school daycare services and educational institutions.

Through experiences such as HADO, the organization aims to provide opportunities for children to experience:

• the joy of physical activity,
• the fun of teamwork and cooperation,
• and the development of communication, strategic thinking, and social skills.

The initiative reflects a broader vision of creating inclusive spaces where people of all ages can gather safely and actively participate in community activities.

About HADO

HADO is a next-generation “Techno Sport” that combines physical movement with augmented reality technology.

Players wear head-mounted displays and arm sensors to launch energy balls and deploy shields in competitive team battles. While the rules are simple, the game emphasizes teamwork, communication, and strategy.

Designed to be accessible regardless of athletic ability or age, HADO has expanded to more than 40 countries worldwide as a new form of sports entertainment and educational activity.
