A tour of Tokyo's National Stadium has been popular as the tickets have been sold out continuously.
The tour gives attendees a chance to view the venue that was filled with competing Olympic and Paralympic athletes during the Tokyo Games.
Beginning in October, the tour has been held when there isn't any restoration work being done by the Tokyo Games' organizing committee on Sundays and national holidays.
Tour participants can enjoy a panoramic view of the field from the spectator seats on the fourth floor. A podium has been made available for photo opportunities.
As a measure to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the tour is capped at 40 people per 30-minute tour. Reservations are made online.
Some of the attendees have included Olympic torch bearers and Games' volunteers who donned their uniforms and took photos of themselves for New Year's cards. Five volunteers who participated in the Games' opening and closing ceremonies enjoyed taking commemorative photos Sunday. One of them, a 54-year-old company employee from Kawasaki, said, "I was able to come back to the place of my memories."
The tour costs 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for high school students and younger. Visit National Stadium's official website for reservation details.
