In the Rugby World Cup, which opens on the 20th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will place troops in preparation for terrorism around the stadium where the first battle will take place. In principle, the Metropolitan Police Department calls for attention that drones are prohibited from flying.

In the Rugby World Cup, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, etc. will be vigilant with a maximum of 9,100 people at 12 venues nationwide.

Of these, eight games will be held, including the first match between Japan and Russia. At the Tokyo Stadium in Chofu, Tokyo, an ERT = emergency initial response unit will be deployed to respond with firearms when terrorism occurs. In addition, at major intersections, we use police large vehicles and special Israel-made fences to prepare for terrorist attacks.

As a countermeasure against terrorism using drones, in principle, drones are prohibited from flying around the venue and in Tokyo and Marunouchi where public viewing takes place.

At Haneda Airport, a leaflet written in English saying “You can't fly a drone without permission in Tokyo” was called out to tourists who came to Japan.

“The foreigner doesn't know that the drone needs a flight permit, so I want to tell you every time I have an opportunity,” said Ken Motegi, the manager of the Tokyo Airport Police Station.

In addition, since the crowd between the venue and the nearest station is expected to be crowded, a special traffic light that extends the green light is detected by detecting the number of spectators with cameras and sensors.
