Rent Co., Ltd., driven by a desire to prioritize coexistence and co-creation with local communities, supports the activities of Be-Win Co., Ltd. as a partner enterprise dedicated to nurturing squash players and improving competitive standards. This event, organized by Be-Win Co., Ltd., features a simplified court installed within a commercial facility, providing an opportunity for people to easily experience and touch the charm of squash during their shopping or outings. As part of the 'Portable Squash Tour 2026' being held sequentially across various locations in 2026, this event invites everyone to enjoy the exhilaration of hitting a ball against a wall.

Portable squash is a more accessible version of the sport, which originated in the UK and is traditionally played on a four-walled court. Squash is enjoyed by over 20 million people worldwide as a lifelong sport and has gained significant attention after being selected as an additional sport for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Portable squash uses a simplified, air-inflated court that is 1/3 the size of a professional one, allowing it to be set up in diverse locations to reach a wider audience.
