Crafting the Tokyo 2020 Legacy Report

The Tokyo 1964 Games showcased Japan’s post-war recovery to the world and spurred a period of rapid economic
growth that powered Tokyo’s transformation into a world-class metropolis.
Nearly half a century later, Tokyo was selected once again to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This would
make Tokyo the first city in history to host the Paralympic Games a second time. While advancing seamless preparations
for the Games, we sought to create legacies based on nine distinct themes with a view to beyond 2020 in order to
achieve new evolution as a mature metropolis. And today, we are working to share the initiatives we have advanced with
the rest of Japan and the world.
These include initiatives in both tangible and intangible areas to make Tokyo a more sustainable city, such as those aimed at realizing a society
where people of diverse backgrounds support one another, transforming Tokyo into an environmentally advanced city, and supporting the recovery
of disaster-stricken areas.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world. As a result, the Games were held under difficult circumstances, including the first ever
one-year postponement and an absence of spectators. Despite these circumstances, we were able to deliver a safe and secure Games through
the implementation of thorough infection prevention measures. We are proud to have been able to hold the Tokyo 2020 Games with the support
of countless people across the globe in the face of the pandemic, and we will forever treasure the knowledge we gained and the network of everyone
involved with the Games that was formed.
The Tokyo 2020 Games have given us new values for a kinder future that is brimming with diversity and more accommodating to each and
every individual. We are committed to creating a grand stage where people can shine, whether it be in sports, in their city, or in society. We will
pass on the experiences and wishes of the people of Tokyo and Japan, Games volunteers, and all who were involved with the Games as a legacy
for generations to come, in our continued effort to build a bright future for Tokyo.
