The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's construction of new permanent venues for the 2020 Olympics is currently on schedule, officials said Tuesday.
TMG is building seven brand new permanent venues for the July 24 — Aug. 9 games, including the Musashino Forest Sport Plaza badminton and modern pentathlon fencing arena, which was completed last November. The new National Stadium, which is currently scheduled for completion in November 2019, is the responsibility of the Japan Sport Council.
TMG gave reporters a tour of four of the venues under construction on Tuesday: the Sea Forest Waterway, the Olympic Aquatics Centre, Ariake Arena and the Canoe Slalom Course. All four venues are located in the Tokyo Bay area.
