The newly built Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Village in Harumi is currently hosting the athletes from around the world. The games are being held with all the safety measures in place and this is what the village looks like with its one-of-a-kind infrastructural facilities.
1. There’s separate housing facilitiy for athletes from different countries.
You can see the national flags hanging from apartment balconies.
2. There are 21 towers, 14-18 stories high, with a total of 3,600 rooms housing 11,000 athletes.
3. Each bedroom is furnished with a special Games blanket, AC units, and cardboard beds.
4. The dining hall is open 24/7.
The two-floor Main Dining Hall is one of the more expansive buildings in the Village and offers 700 food options.
The tables are separated by plexiglass barriers.
I’ll start my thread again with Fran from Team 🇦🇷.

Several videos showing behind the scenes of the Olympic village are also doing rounds on social media.
Since then, videos by athletes taking us inside the rules they have to adhere to as well as the Olympic village have quickly become a favorite.
