11 kilometers from the 2020 Olympic Stadium!
2020 Tokyo Olympic official website.
When our students are asked in their classes if they are happy about Tokyo being awarded the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, well over 80% of them seem quite happy about the idea. Some have said they're really looking forward to it because they will be young adults in their 20s when the Games take place.
Seiritsu is actually located very close to the future Olympic Stadium, as it is only 11 kilometers away from our campus, an easy 30 minutes by train.
When the 1964 Tokyo Olympics took place, the city brought thousands of local students to events for free, so perhaps students of the school in 2020 - including international students - will also have the same opportunity.
On a more curious note, will some of our many student athletes be representing Japan in the 2020 Games...?
