Japan's Sports Agency Launches Official LINE Account to Encourage Participation in Sports
The Japan Sports Agency is taking proactive measures to foster a vibrant sports culture that invites everyone to engage in, view, and support sports activities. As part of this initiative, they have launched an official LINE account, starting from December 19, 2025. This new communication channel aims to provide convenient access to tailored sports information for various users, ensuring they can discover the joy and excitement of sports in daily life.
The newly established LINE account caters to all individuals involved in sports, whether they want to participate, watch, or support. It features a unique layout with two rich menus designed for different user groups: one for individuals and another for companies and organizations.
Upon registration, users can quickly respond to a brief survey about their interests and local area. Based on this information, they will receive personalized sports updates directly on their LINE application. This could include nationwide sports event information, the latest articles from 'Cocospo' (a dedicated sports portal), and exercise videos. The aim is to seamlessly integrate sports into individuals' everyday lives, providing them with the tools to easily access information and participate in sports activities.
For businesses, organizations, and municipalities engaged in promoting sports, the LINE account offers valuable resources such as successful case studies from 'Sport in Life' member organizations and information on award systems like the Sport in Life Awards and the Sports Encouragement Company certification. Additionally, users can access the 'Cocospo' registration and information dissemination page from LINE, enabling a one-stop solution for posting event and facility information, along with activity reports.
The Sports Agency is committed to establishing an effective information platform that allows users to efficiently receive and share sports information, enhancing the accessibility and visibility of sports resources across Japan.
Interested users can easily register for the LINE account via the following link or QR code: Account URL.
Cocospo is a portal site operated by the Japan Sports Agency, designed to collect useful information for enjoying sports in daily life. It serves to connect 'My Cocospo Users’, who want to find opportunities and venues for sports, with 'Owners’ who aim to provide such opportunities.
The site underwent a significant redesign this fiscal year, refreshing its design, structure, and functionality to improve user experience. New accessibility tools have been integrated to cater to a diverse range of users, accommodating different visual and auditory needs so anyone can easily access sports information.
The homepage has been reorganized to present information clearly, making it intuitive to navigate on smartphones. Also, the notification page has been enhanced for better visibility and usability, allowing users to quickly access the information they seek.
Additionally, features that improve convenience for information providers have been implemented, such as a 'temporary save function for postings' and a 'copy function for posts' on the owner's page. These enhancements will streamline the efficiency of information dissemination by organizations, municipalities, and businesses.
Cocospo has evolved to become more accommodating and convenient for everyone engaged in sports, whether they participate, view, or support. The Japan Sports Agency's goal is to create a society where everyone, regardless of disabilities or age, can easily access sports activities and engage with them in a meaningful way.
