Japan’s Olympic Museum located near the National Olympic Stadium, opened to the public.
The museum is operated by the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) and features exciting exhibits where visitors can learn about the history and significance of the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as the Olympic Movement.
Outside the museum visitors can take a walk around the monument area which includes the famous Olympic Rings symbol as well as the Olympic Cauldrons from Tokyo 1964 and Winter Olympic Games Cauldrons from Sapporo 1972 and Nagano 1998.
Another exciting feature sees part of the museum ceiling made from trees from the seeds which were brought by athletes from overseas for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The trees have been grown over the past 50 years in the northern town of Engaru in the Hokkaido Prefecture.
