Understanding the past & welcoming the future – Olympic Photo Exhibition

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is coming soon. I believe that many tourists and sports fans at home and abroad are looking forward to this quadrennial World Sports Festival. In order to meet the 2020 Olympic Games, various renovations and constructions are being carried out throughout Japan, so that tourists from all over the world can enjoy sightseeing and understand Japan in addition to enjoying sports competitions.
Actually, Tokyo had hosted the Olympic Games in 1964. At that time, the streets of Tokyo believed that you must be hard to imagine. To this end, the Shibuya District Office held a special exhibition of commemorative photos of the Olympics. Special photo exhibitions on the street, etc. If you are visiting Shibuya, you may wish to watch and experience the changes of the times, and look forward to the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics together!!
