The Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games are underway. Watching the Games in person isn’t an option due to the ban on spectators, but there are other ways to get into the Olympic spirit.
Regardless of how you feel about this year’s Games, there’s no denying Tokyo 2020 is happening at a historic moment in time – one that many people will want to capture and reflect on.
Now that the Olympic and Paralympic shops are open around the city, we can gear up with official Tokyo 2020 merchandise like face masks, flags, mugs, T-shirts, hats and even a full yukata set. From tasteful pieces embellished with the Games logo to cuddly versions of the mascots Miraitowa and Someity, there’s something to suit every taste.
Your best bet to find what you're looking for is at the Tokyo 2020 Fan Park (10am-8pm daily) in Odaiba. It's got the biggest merchandise shop in Japan, spanning 2,000sqm and stocked with thousands of items, including the entire collection of Team Japan (aka Team Red) clothing and accessories.
