Tokyo already has a lot of Olympic history to look back on with pride and one of the best places to get a sense of what this means to the country and her citizens is The Prince Chichibu Memorial Sports Museum.
The Summer Olympics were hosted by Tokyo in 1964 and is still home to a number of the venues that played an integral part in the success of those games. The Prince Chichibu Memorial Sports Museum houses a large collection of Olympic memorabilia and displays that cover the history of the games starting with first Olympiad. Exhibits at the museum include the winner’s podium from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, torches, athletic uniforms, tickets, scale models and posters that in combination provide an impressive overview of the history of the Olympic Games.
