Many Japanese oppose Tokyo's hosting of the Olympics this year in a corona virus outbreak, with an opinion poll showing that about 80 percent of Japanese oppose hosting the tournament.

A decision was made to prevent fans from coming to Japan, but a decision was made on the number of local fans allowed to attend the Games after the Tokyo emergency ended on June 20.

The number of officials and participants in delegations to Tokyo from abroad has also been reduced by almost half, to 78, with calls for further reduction.

Economic researchers warn that cancelling the Olympics will cost Japan about 1.8 trillion yen ($16.6 billion).
