The Olympic Games will be held for 17 days from July 24 to August 9, 2020, and the Paralympic Games will be held for 13 days from August 25 to September 6. Olympic-related construction is underway everywhere in Tokyo, but the construction of the athlete village is progressing at a rapid pace at Harumi 4-chome and 5-chome. The status of this construction can be seen from the roof of "Hot Plaza Harumi" at Harumi 5-chome.

The athlete's village has a site area of 44ha, with 18,000 beds at the Olympics and 8,000 beds at the Paralympic Games. Completion is scheduled for December 31, 2019 (planned).

After the Tokyo Olympics, as a redevelopment project for urban areas, approximately 5,650 units will be built and sold or rented, with the planned accommodation facilities that were temporarily used during the tournament. The completion of the project is expected to be completed in FY2024.

The Harumi area was built in 1931 and was prepared as a planned site for the Japan World Exposition commemorating 2600 AD (Showa 15), but was canceled due to war, and after the war, the first Tokyo International Trade Fair was held in May 1960, and the International Motor Show was held in 1996, but in 1996. Also, in 1955, Harumi Wharf was built as a Foreign Trade Wharf. Harumi Wharf is also famous as the destination for Antarctic observation ships. And this time, construction as an Olympic athlete village is progressing. Why don't you come to the Harumi district with such a history?
