Do you get the Japanese outdoor and sports culture?

In almost every Japanese movie and TV series, there are many scenes about the outdoors and outdoor sports. So the question is, do Japanese people really love outdoor life and sports?

Yes, the Japanese love the outdoors!

As a country also influenced by traditional Confucianism, the Japanese have a sense of nature worship. The Japanese pursue the symbiosis of man and nature, that is: man = nature.

For the Japanese, nature is not just about "seeing" and "being seen". The act of integrating humans with nature is itself a healing process. This can be seen from Japanese garden art and many healing movies.

In addition to its healing effects, the outdoors also represents self-expression for the Japanese.

For the Japanese, the outdoors is not just a journey, but also a way of life in which they devote themselves to nature and find themselves.

The yearning for the outdoors has indeed given rise to the Japanese outdoor and camping culture. It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese understanding and innovation of outdoor and camping culture is absolutely at the top of the pyramid.

Japanese sports culture!

The essence of sports is to "surpass oneself"! In the final analysis, people who exercise are more pursuing to surpass themselves and make their inner life more fulfilling .

In the minds of the Japanese people, endurance and hard work during exercise represent the characteristics of the Japanese. In Japan, there is a relatively long-standing long-distance running culture, and running scenes appear in almost every Japanese TV series and movie.

In Japanese society, whether a person is good at sports has become one of the important factors for outsiders to judge him or her! This may be the reason why Japanese people go to ski resorts on weekends even in the face of the epidemic!

In addition to long-distance running in daily life, outdoor activities such as camping, mountain climbing, and skiing have become very common weekend pastimes in Japan. For this reason, outdoor travel and sports products have always been the top three sales categories in Japan's retail industry.
