The streets also have another unique feature at the Tokyo Games: automated buses. Toyota developed the driverless buses, which loop around the village, dropping off and picking up at nine different stops. But not everything is as high tech. Other services available in the village include a gym, a post office, a hair salon, a nail salon and an official Olympics store. Every time I visit the village, despite the provisions under the playbook, it appears the athletes are enjoying their life and activities.

You can conclude your visit with a peaceful stroll through the outdoor Monument Area and see the three different Olympic cauldrons from previous Games held in Japan. The Odaiba waterfront has always been a dynamic part of the city with its stunning Rainbow Bridge and its replica of the Statue of Liberty.
With the area set to become a central location for a large portion of the Summer Games, the waterfront now also features the iconic Olympic rings, making for a fitting photo op. Minutes away from the Olympic Village , Odaiba and Ariake will serve as the competition venues for sports including BMX racing and skateboarding. These two areas will be particularly buzzing during the Games as people walking along the Olympic promenade will be able to see the Olympic cauldron and possibly even observe athletes warming up and training for their events.
It's easy to cross this bridge in Harajuku without thinking much of it, but if you look closely, you'll notice some finer details that were added in to commemorate Olympic Games. With the aim of using the Olympic motto 'faster, higher, stronger' to reinvigorate the city, reliefs of athletes competing in sports like track and field, judo and gymnastics were placed along the bridge, complete with the official Olympic logo.
With a capacity of over 11, people, the arena has been used for everything from yoga festivals to a Paul McCartney concert, and soon, as a venue for Olympic boxing. With traditional box-style seating, where spectators take off their shoes and sit on cushions instead of chairs, Ryogoku Kokugikan also features a free-to-enter sumo museum closed during tournament days. With a range of ceremonial loincloths worn by top wrestlers and portraits of famous sumo champions that are so old they were created using woodblock prints, the small but comprehensive collection of artifacts are rarities even in Tokyo.
Advance tickets go on sale about a month before each sumo tournament. Some unreserved, back-row balcony seats one per person are only released for sale from 8am on the day of the tournament.
