About the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020
The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place in Tokyo, Japan, 56 years after the city first played Olympic host in 1964. Tokyo 2020’s vision is based on three guiding principles: achieving personal best, unity through diversity and connecting to tomorrow.
The majority of Olympic and Paralympic events will take place in two thematic zones. The Heritage Zone will house several legacy venues used at the 1964 Games, including the Yoyogi National Gymnasium and the Nippon Budokan indoor arena. The Bay Zone serves as a model for futuristic urban development and includes the Dream Island Park and the Shiokaze Park venues — some of Tokyo’s favorite places to relax and play.
The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee aims to deliver an environmentally and economically sustainable Games in its vibrant, diverse city with no shortage of cultural attractions. At the Rio Games in 2016, Team USA topped the Olympic medal table and surpassed 100 Paralympic medals for the first time since 2000 — and the outlook for Tokyo is just as bright.
