Unprecedented Excitement ahead of Tokyo 2020 Olympics 

There are less than six months until the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and the world is getting ready for the biggest sports event of the year. The excitement is building all over Tokyo, that worked hard in the past seven years to make everything possible. Thousands of athletes and hundreds of thousands of fans will make their way to the Land of the Rising Sun during the games.

Japan has done everything possible to make sure that the 2020 Olympics are up to standards. There's still a lot to be done with only six months until the opening ceremony, but so far, all of the preparations are going well. Everyone is doing their part, as there is no room for error or delays. Keep reading and learn everything we know about the Tokyo 2020 games so far. 

Venues

Tokyo is a massive city with close to 30 million residents. It's a densely populated area, and organizing the biggest sports event in those circumstances comes with all kinds of challenges. Japan spent 7 years building 43 new venues for visitors from all over the world. Eight of them are permanent, ten are temporary, and 25 already existed. The preparations are in full swing and the new Olympic Stadium was opened on New Year's Day. It's fitted with state of the art equipment and should serve many more generations of athletes. 

The Village Plaza was constructed for the games and it will be dismantled after the games are over. All of the materials will be returned to their donors, and the land will be re-used for new projects. The leaders of Japan and the city of Tokyo did an amazing job of planning the event. Housing so many visitors is a logistical nightmare, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Japan. So, if you're going to stay at one of these venues during the OG, you can relax after a day at the stadium with the best interactive sex gamesfor free. 

Ticketing 

The Olympic Games are the most popular sports event of the year, but the number of visitors fluctuates from year to year. Tokyo 2020 looks very promising so far. Over 8.2 million people from Japan have registered for their Tokyo ID. As the second phase of ticket sales comes to an end, the total ticket count comes down to 4.48 million tickets only in Japan. The third phase will include worldwide ticket sales, so make sure you get yours while you still can. 

Millions of registered participants 

There's no doubt that Japan will go the extra mile when it comes to the Tokyo 2020 games. Hundreds of events held all over the country have attracted close to 140,000 initiatives and activities that will be taking place during the games. Over 98 million people will participate and contribute to the Tokyo Games. 

It looks like the world is in for quite a spectacle later this year, and we can only imagine what's in store. Japan is known for many technological advancements and inventions, so we're hoping to see something special when the time comes.

Choosing a different approach

Believe it or not, the Olympic village for the Tokyo 2020 games needs over 26,000 beds for the athletes and their teams. That's a lot of beds, and Japan found the perfect way of getting them. Instead of buying them, they designed special beds made entirely of renewable materials. The mattresses are made to the highest standards, and they offer amazing quality and comfort, while the frames are made from durable cardboard. All of the beds will be recycled when the games are over. 

Venues across the city probably won't come with recyclable beds, so be careful where you point your gun while playing the Red Dead Redemption porn game

The 32nd Olympic Games will take place in Japan later this year, but you can already feel the excitement all over the globe. Japan is an exotic country for most people and the culture shock is surely going to shake millions of visitors on every corner. 

It doesn't really matter if you're a sports fan or not, the Olympic Games are a special event watched by billions of people worldwide. We can't wait to see our favorite athletes and cheer for our nation's teams. There are just a few more months to go!
