Diversity was on full display at the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on Saturday.
The former site of the athletes' village from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics hosted the first training session for English speakers volunteering at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
More than 300 took part in the session, during which they received a briefing on the history and significance of the games, as well as how to accommodate the diverse needs of the many athletes and spectators who will arrive in Tokyo beginning next July.
