Park with senior exercise? 2013/4/8 10:59
Hi :) I'm looking to film senior citizens exercising in a park for a movie project. Does anyone know any parks where this happens? I need your help here :)

Is it "rajio-taisou dai1"(Radio calisthenics No.1)?

According to Wikipedia.

At first, meeting of rajio-taisou was hold at Sakuma-Kouen in Chiyoda-ku.
There is a monument of that.

A policeman who name is Omotaka worked at police station at Kanda-ManseiBashi (in Akihabara)
led people to hold meeting of rajio-taisou
for children to enjoy during the summer holidays.
(BTW, as far as I know, the police station at Kanda-ManseiBashi was moved recently in a short distance.)
Some says it's at Miyagawa-Hiroba in KandaIzumiCho that's neighbouring town.
And also some says Otsuka-Kouen in Bunkyo-ku.

Thank you ajapaneseboy! This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Does anyone know a local park where they do this?

Before you film, please ask the subjects if they would object to being filmed.

Sorry, I misread "where this happens" meant "when this began".(x_x;)

Where... it's O.K. in Tokyo?

For example, I search on twitter...
She said "I never knew till now how beautiful Setagaya-Kouen in the morning is." and "Now I think I will go home, because the elderly people in the park started their radio-taisou".

Or I googled...
This blogger joined motley people who do the radio-taisou that is started at 6:30 in Inogashira-Kouen.
