2020 Tokyo Olympics Visit Nozawa
It would be fair to say Japan is a fairly Sports obsessed Nation, they love and do well at a whole host of sports. They are even better at hosting Sporting events with an amazing blend of history, culture and high tech you can rest assured Tokyo and all of Japan will put on an amazing show for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
Some of the details
Stadium; New National Stadium
Number of Athletes; More than 11,000
New Sports; Baseball/Softball, Karate, Sport Climbing, Skateboarding and Surfing
So exciting times ahead and some exciting new sports. We are particularly interested to see how the Surfing will go.
Japan is no stranger to hosting the Olympics this will be the second time to host the Summer Olympics having previously hosted in 1964. My father went to those games and said it was amazing. They have also hosted the Winter Olympics twice. In Sapporo in 1972 and also with us in Nagano in 1998.
I was lucky enough to b fun Nozawa Onsen for the 1998 Olympics and the vibe was fantastic. Our main event in Nozawa was the Biathlon and we hosted Athletes from all over the world for an amazing event. Many Nozawa and Japanese locals did extremely well in the games and won a swag of medals. So there was lots to celebrate in the Village.
