Tokyo was announced as the host of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in September 2013 in Buenos Aires. At that time, a Japanese 2020 Olympic delegation member explained that “omotenashi”, the spirit of Japanese hospitality, was the traditional Japanese way in which Tokyo would welcome foreigners.
