Like last year, the venue will be Yoyogi Park Zelkova trees, a traditional place for street sports, which is said to be the "Mecca" of street sports from all over Japan. In addition, as a spin-off competition, the “Next Generations Games 2022 U-12 Limited Battle”, which is set to U-12 (elementary school students and below), will be held at Shibuya Cast Garden on Saturday, November 12th.

About Next Generations
Focusing on the "next generation" who is the leader in expanding the possibilities of Shibuya and the city, we are proud to create a place where the "next generation" can "encounter" sports, "learn" from sports, and "shine" with your favorite sports. This is a “next generation” sports scene creation project that was launched in 2018 through industry-government-academia-private partnerships to design a city that can be used for sports. Shibuya, the origin of fashion and culture, is also a city where ancestors have pioneered street sports and their culture. We will recreate the place (playground) that has been lost with the development of the city, promote street sports and enlighten the manners, foster a sports culture unique to Shibuya, and aim to revive as "Shibuya = Mecca of street sports".
