Q6. Whether the Tokyo Olympic let the foreigners have the good impression of Japan or not

The simple answer is: Although the Tokyo Olympic let the foreigners have not only the good impression of Japan but also the bad impression of Japan, through the Tokyo Olympics Japan can think of the solution to deal with these bad impressions.

This time I am going to write the answer of this topic especially in terms of "Japanese culture."
As we can see, Japan has very particular cultures, such as Anime, Kabuki, the tea ceremony. However, since many people feel awkward to approach these cultures, Japanese themselves do not understand these culture well enough and they can not tell the people in foreign countries such cultures so much. The Olympics game is not only the sports festival but also the cultural festivals so through the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 we can send the Japanese cultures which realize the spirit of "Wa(和)" in Japan and all over the world. In addition, the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has begun to set up the commission which thinks about the culture and education and set up the basic plan for Tokyo 2020 which unites the project of culture.

Through the Tokyo Olympic in 2020, Japan can send the message to the world, such as the world peace, which means that the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 will be held in summer, when the WWⅡ is associated, the recovery from the Great East Earthquake, which means that Olympic has the role of repaying for kindness of the world and it will make this repaying for kindness of Japan something which is visual and sent it to the world. However, through this process, Japanese should not forget to have the mind not only to appeal the good points of Japan but also to think over their points which they should deal with.

Furthermore, not only in terms of culture but also in terms of tourism, we can see the good impression of Japan by foreigners brought by the Tokyo Olympics. At this time the tourism is one of the industries which support the Japanese economy and  the number of the tourists to Japan will increase by maintaining the facilities in order to let the tourists from other countries stay in Japan comfortably. Also, we should increase the number of foreigners who understand Japan well about not only the culture, tradition, economy but also the solution to deal with the aged society and we should be active in communicating with each country, too.
Through this process, the Tokyo Olympic will let the foreigners have the good impression of Japan.

About the article, I trust the two new articles, one is the proceeding written by The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and another is the article from the Arts Council Tokyo written by Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto, a director of Center for Arts and Culture, NLI Research Institute.
As for the former one, this site is the official page of Tokyo Olympic and in this site, there are a lot of trustworthy opinions which say that the Tokyo Olympic have the good influence on Japan and all over the world in detail, and there is no false opinions.
In terms of the latter one, this site is the official page of the Arts Council Tokyo and this article focuses on the connection between the Tokyo Olympic and Japanese culture. In addition, this site also says the biography of author, so we can see what kind of people wrote thie article and we can trust this resource. Also, this site also has the very detailed information and it says the conncetion between the previous Olympics and the cultural perspective.
That's why I thought that these sites are very reliable.

About this question, I think that through the Tokyo Olympic in 2020, we can show the world Japan itself and its many perspectives whether they are good or bad. Even if there are some bad points which foreigners feel, Japan can think of the solution for these points and as a result, the number of the good points of Japan will increase and it will lead to let the foreigners to have the good impression of Japan. However, not only the self-esteem but also the mind to try to deal with bad points will be needed in order to make Tokyo Olympic in 2020 more meaningful. I thought that Japan has many points which can show the world as the good points and if Japan show the world thise points the impression of Japan will be better than before.
I think that Japan is the culture of modesty so even if there are special good points in Japan, Japanese do not try to spread them to the world, but the Tokyo Olympic will be the good opportunity to show the world these points. So Japan should think of the connection between the Tokyo Olympics and the culture of Japan, and it should see the Tokyo Olympics as the chance to think of its own country and its culture more and more.
That's why I thought that the Tokyo Olympic let the foreigners have the good impression of Japan.
