Two nights ago in Odaiba, the excitement of Tokyo2016 was captured on the beach. Organisers placed coloured lanterns representing the 5 Olympic rings on the sand. It was a brilliant event.

Great idea to spread lanterns on the Odaiba beach in support of 2016

Colourful Lanterns

In a similar display of support for Tokyo 2016, hundreds of ladies and gents in kimono were brilliantly captured earlier this year. This photo by michaeljohngrist shows the enthusiasm from the community for Tokyo2016.

Excellent shot from above

And another excellent capture of two lovely ladies.

Tokyo2016 - yes we can

But it not just a matter of expertly organising kimonos and lanterns, Japan is also offering a hi-tech background for Tokyo2016!

This breathtaking photo of Gundam was snapped by Shibuya246 as the sun set yesterday evening.

Brilliant shot of Gundam

There were hundreds of people present watching the 1/1 Scale Gundam change colours in the fading daylight.

And talk of the 2016 bid was on many peoples lips. This is because just recently, the Green Tokyo Gundam committee closed a charity auction to provide one lucky winner with the opportunity to sit on Gundam’s shoulder. This will be an amazing photo shoot! And money raised will be contributed to the Tokyo2016 bid. Creative thinking Green Tokyo.

Three great events that represent the atmosphere, tradition and technology displayed in the bid for Tokyo2016. Thanks to the photographers!
