Going to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics? You will need some things to do in Tokyo when you're there.
So, a little back story of the Tokyo Olympics. People have been asking has Japan held the Olympics before? The answer is yes, back in 1964 Japan was host to the Summer Olympics '64 but Japan has also hosted two winter Olympics 1972 and 1998! So, you won't be surprised when we say that Japan knows what they are doing when it comes to hosting the Olympics. Tokyo 2020 comes with the motto "Discover Tomorrow" and you will be able to discover tomorrow on the 24th July 2020! As that is when the Tokyo Olympics actually commences. The 2020 Olympic Games will run until the 9th August and will be located in two zones of Tokyo, which consist of the Heritage Zone, which you could roughly class as the west side of Tokyo and the other zone is called Tokyo Bay Zone, which unsurprisingly centres around Tokyo Bay and the east side of the city. There are as well, a few locations on the outskirts of Tokyo such as Kasumigaseki Country Club, which is where the golf will take place and Izu Velodrome, which is where the cycling will take place. There are a few other out of the city locations to one on the other side of Tokyo Bay (Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach) and several football stadiums outside of Tokyo.
