Yesterday, October 10th was Health and Sports Day (taiiku no hi), marking the Tokyo Olympics ^[1], which started on October 10th, 1964.
Towards the end of last month, Tokyo Gov. Ishihara launched a campaign for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Tokyo. It’s still a long way off and Tokyo isn’t even the official Japanese candidate city: two other cities, Sapporo and Fukuoka are also vying for the spot, but if the Olympics were to return here in 2016, this would impact Tokyo significantly.
What are people’s opinions on this?
Would this be good for Tokyo? Could it cope with the flood of extra visitors? Do we want the Olympics in Tokyo?
