A movement that practices and encourages walking to improve physical strength and health. In the United States, President John F. Kennedy proposed it to make up for the lack of exercise among the public. In Japan, it has been held since the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, and awareness-raising activities and events are carried out mainly by the National Council for Physical Fitness, the Japan Manpo Club, and the Japan Walking Association. The International Four Days March has been held once a year since 1909 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Following this example, the Japan Three Days March has been held every November in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture since 1978.
