Blog #4: Olympic in Japan?

Hi, this is Naoko. Today, I found an interesting article about importance of Japan standing as a candidate of host country for the Olympic which will be held in 2020. Here is the article. I'm sorry that I couldn't find as English version.

The author is demanding that we have to become a host country once more to win the competition between developed countries. However, I do not want our country to become a host country. The point I'd like to point out is that if the Olympic was held in Japan, a huge number of people will visit here to watch games. It sounds like a great thing. However, problems will be caused by those visitors.

First, I'm concerned about transportation. In Japan, many people use transportation, especially in highly populated cities like Tokyo. If many visitors come to Japan, transportation in Japan won't be able to handle such a huge number of passengers. If they demand that we should be the host country in 2020, they should come up with a ideal to solve this problem.

Second, if the Olympic was going to be held in Japan, electricity will be needed. Japan is now facing a time to save electricity and there is no spare of it. In addition, Japanese people are curious about danger of using nuclear power plant. We first need to come up with an alternative way to produce electricity.

These are my opinions. How about you? What do you think about Japan standing as a candidate of a host country?
