About a month before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, a huge turf-shaped character called "TOKYO 2020" appeared on the side of the runway at Narita Airport.
The huge letters "TOKYO 2020" that appeared at Narita Airport on the 18th were made on the sides of the two runways.
The letters on the side of Runway A are approximately 110 meters wide and 15 meters long and can be seen through the window when the aircraft takes off and landing, as well as from the observation deck of the terminal building.
The letters in the shape of the turf are that after cutting the surrounding turf for better visibility, it is painted with the bright green paint used on the greens of golf courses.
At the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it has been decided not to accept spectators from overseas, but athletes and tournament officials are planning to use Narita Airport to visit Japan.
Kei Ogawara, manager of Narita Airport Company, said, "It's a pity that spectators do not come from overseas, but Narita Airport is the first place for athletes and related parties to come to Japan, so I would like to welcome them with hospitality." ..
