“The parties reached an agreement to set up a Belarusian fan zone in the city of Tachikawa for the period of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in summer 2020. This fan zone will get the Japanese people familiar with the Belarusian culture, export opportunities, as well as tourism potential, including medical tourism,” representatives of the embassy said.
The fan zone in Tachikawa will be the second fan zone planned in Tokyo during the sporting event. Earlier, Belarus had agreed with the authorities of the city of Shiroishi to set up a similar fan zone.
