1 TOKYO 2016 Candidature File Summary Booklet 13 February 2009

2 Supporting Letter from the Governor Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara In compiling the Candidature File to present Tokyo as a creditable candidate to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, I reflect back on the Tokyo of 1964, going back nearly 45 years in time, and I have found myself consumed with deep emotion. During the 1964 Games, I participated mainly in the 5.5-metre class yachting competition as an official assistant; but at the same time, in my capacity as a writer and newspaper/television commentator, I was overwhelmed with the Olympic Games. For I felt liberated from the lingering shadows of the war I had experienced as a child, and I became acutely aware that we share one world though there are many states and we are the same human beings though we have different ethnic backgrounds. There is no other human drama that surpasses the beauty of the. The inspiration it brings is the most sublime and incomparable human drama we know. The competitive, fighting spirit of humans is a source of great power, but in excess it can create unneeded friction that sometimes leads to great calamity. Sport is the only competitive activity we take part in that serves to genuinely uplift us in both mind and body. My native country of Japan, rooted in soul-searching from the tragedy of World War II that the Japanese brought upon themselves, adopted our present war-renouncing constitution. Over the more than six decades that have passed since that time, Japan has the distinction of being the only country in the world that has avoided becoming entangled in any major conflict. The plays a crucial role in urging serious reflection on the current state of global upheaval while fostering ethnic harmony and partnership between states, and it is because of the unique past of Japan that I firmly believe Tokyo could make a strong and lasting contribution to world peace through the hosting of the Games. As Governor of a Candidate City, I am proud to present our city s outstanding infrastructure including the finest transportation networks and accommodation facilities, as well as the world s highest level of sports participation, sustainable environmental, culinary culture, welfare, security and other strengths that would make Tokyo a wonderful venue for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The 23 special wards that form the city centre where the Games would be held feature the world s highest density in terms of the number of stations for subways, railways, and elevated rail systems. Over the 40-plus years since hosting the first in Asia, Tokyo has led the development of Japan and has also become a premier global city and leader of Asia s rapid progress. As a result of the fiscal rebuilding efforts following the collapse of Japan s asset-fuelled bubble economy in the early 1990s, Tokyo s finances have been fully revived. Compared to the economy of Japan at large, which is currently dependent on huge amounts of government bonds, Tokyo is ranked higher that the Japanese nation itself in the assessments of many evaluation companies. If Tokyo is granted the honour of hosting the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, I guarantee that the legacy of the 1964 Games will be fully utilised and cutting-edge technology would be adopted to present the world with the most eco-friendly Games in the history of the Olympics. Athletes would be the top priority of the 2016 Games in Tokyo, with unrivalled support provided to enable athletes to achieve their peak condition for their events. The children who are our future will have the opportunity to witness top-level athletes performing on the greatest stage of sport, gaining an unparalleled emotional experience. May I also note that the year 2016 will mark the completion of Tokyo s ten-year urban renewal project that will focus on the environment, reuniting our city with the water and creating a green corridor. The idea of hosting the in such a milestone year is my dearest wish and an utmost pleasure. In closing, I would like to emphasise again that we would make every possible effort to ensure the resounding success of this ultimate festival of sport. Accordingly, I request the kind consideration of yourself and of all the other distinguished members of the International Olympic Committee toward the desire and capability of Tokyo to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 1

3 Uniting Our Worlds Prime Minister of Japan Taro Aso Sir, we have profound respect for you and all IOC members for your great devotion to world peace and human harmony through the Olympic Movement under the noble ideals of the Olympic Charter. The Olympic and Paralympic Games eliminate racial and national boundaries, uniting our worlds as one, for the greatest event on Earth. The citizens of Japan are peace-loving people who cherish the noble ideals of Olympism, and we wish to promote world peace and friendship through hosting the Tokyo 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Thirty-three years ago, I competed in the Montreal as a member of the Japanese clay target shooting team. Although I had won first place in a 1974 international shooting competition held in Mexico, I felt tremendous pressure at the. I think this is because the is regarded as something special, much more than a sports event. It is a celebration held beyond the borders of countries and continents, races and languages, with a focus on individual dignity and in pursuit of peace. Olympians use sports as their common language, sharing the Olympic motto of Citius, Altius, Fortius. Now as Prime Minister, it is my strong desire to invite young Olympians from around the world to Tokyo to experience what I felt and learned as a young athlete. If our country is accorded the honour of becoming the host country, the National Government of Japan will implement full measures including security and financial support to ensure the successful delivery of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Japan will uphold and respect the Olympic Charter and the Host City Agreement. I wish for the eternal success of the IOC and hope that I will be able to welcome you personally, sir, and other members of the IOC to Tokyo in President, Japanese Olympic Committee Tsunekazu Takeda On behalf of the Olympic Movement in Japan, it is a great privilege and honour for me to submit Tokyo s Candidature File for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Ever since Tokyo was selected as the candidate city of Japan in 2006, the members of the Japanese Olympic Committee, the Japan Paralympic Committee and I have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to this purpose. Our commitment to the bid for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games has already been a great honour for us. When I look back, the 1972 Munich and the 1976 Montreal in which I participated have left me with an irreplaceable experience that I have cherished to this day. I believe that every Japanese athlete who has participated in an will agree with me in this respect. It would be a tremendous privilege for Tokyo to be selected as the host city for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and to be able to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone connected with the Olympic Movement around the world. The Tokyo 2016 Games would be a celebration of peace, friendship and sustainability. It is our earnest wish that athletes from around the world will come together in the Olympic spirit and achieve their dreams on their respective fields of play in Tokyo. We pledge our allegiance to the Olympic Charter with a view to realising a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity, respecting the universality of sport and sparing no effort in promoting the Olympic values. 2
