With the Sydney Olympics now less than four months away, many travel agents in Japan are busy selling tour packages to the Games.
Many will not come cheap; some packages are going for nearly a 1 million yen, while tickets sold in Japan for the opening ceremony are priced from 50,500 yen to 136,600 yen.
