The challenge is to make sure that visitors can travel safely, and the Organizing Committee plans to provide a place other than the competition venue to stop people from concentrating on the station at once, and to spread the time to and from the station.

The Organizing Committee has named the Tokyo Waterfront City area of ​​Tokyo's waterfront area that spans Koto Ward, Minato Ward, and Shinagawa Ward. We plan to make the area a symbol of the tournament, for example, by setting up a torch tower in the city so that people who do not have a watching ticket can tour.

In this area, seven competition venues are gathered within a radius of only 1.5 km, and multiple competitions will be held for 16 consecutive days from the day after the opening ceremony to the last day of the tournament, but on many days including volunteers and tournament staff.

There are only Rinkai Line and Yurikamome railways that can be used in this area, and additional flights are being considered during the tournament.However, the transportation volume is limited. In addition to the competition venue, we plan to provide a place to drop in in the area, disperse the time going to and from the station, and reduce congestion.

Under the Ariake side of the "Dream Bridge" in the center, a torch is set during the tournament, and the promenade about 2 km east to west is named "Olympic Promenade", and it is expected that many people will come and go .

In addition, the area adjacent to Aomi Urban Sports Park is open to people without tickets, and you can watch the players practice in the warm-up area at the so-called playground.

"Tokyo Waterfront City is an area that symbolizes the Tokyo Games, where the facilities related to the Games, such as seven competition venues, and sophisticated townscapes are fused together," said Kobayashi Yoko Area General Manager of the Organizing Committee.

The tournament organizing committee will visit from the station to the competition venue, referring to Japan's largest event `` Comic Market '' which presents manga and animation created by enthusiasts held in the same area of ​​the coastal area We are specifically examining how to guide people.

The Comic Market is held every summer and winter at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics at the Tokyo Big Sight, where media bases are located, and this year's end is held from 28 to 31 last month. The presentation attracted a total of 750,000 people.

On the first day, when about 190,000 people visited the station, the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station became crowded in the morning.

At the Tokyo tournament, the audience was expected to be used at the four venues in Ariake, where the audience was almost uninterrupted, and there was a queue waiting for entry to a location nearly 1 km away from the venue. .

The procession was guided by the staff of the organizer, and the staff moved smoothly, checking the availability of the space in front, proceeding in the line, and crossing the pedestrian crossing with timing. .

The Organizing Committee said, `` The comic market and the Olympics are different depending on the number of customers and the time of arrival, but how many seconds are required when planning the flow line from the station, how to make a line, and when the line crosses the crosswalk. We inspect whether it takes, and refer to it. "
