Rajio-taisou

[biru san1]

I would be interested to know if any of the shrines in Japan still offer Rajio-taisou... Or, am I just dating myself... Kanshashimasu... biru san1.

Hi, biru-san!

I don't know anything about shrines holding rajio-taisou, since these exercises are usually associated with schools and community groups and are practiced both individually and in groups of various sizes. During summer vacation, elementary school students go to their schools early in the morning for rajio taisou. So, some, if not all, shrines probably hold such programs, too, for the local citizens but most likely under the initiative of the shrine's priests or leading "ujiko" (equivalent to parishoners in Christianity).

Here is a Youtube video of some old people exercising at a shrine:


This is the current rajio taiso broadcast by NHK. A version for wheelchair-bound persons has been added in recent years:


An interesting English-language version of the exercise, probably held at an overseas Japanese school:

I think it has nothing to do with shrine
it is maneged by ikusei(ﾋ?ｧﾂ青ｬ窶ｰﾃｯﾂ） or children club of vicnity.
there are shrine in every district . shrine is one of children's palying ground where radio taiso is hold.
shrine has a suitable vacant space.....
that is why it seems to be hold by shrine
