<What is a Host Town?>
The Host Town Initiative aims to connect individual Japanese towns with countries taking part in the Tokyo Games and to organise a variety of exchange programmes. By having a Host Town, each participating national team can maximize their performance in the Olympic Games, promote the country’s culture, and develop long-term relationships with the Host Town.
