Should we avoid Tokyo if we want to avoid the Olympics crowd?
Oii, Aussie,
Not that I were an expert, but isn't avoiding crowds in Tokyo already a challenge in general? ^^
Jokes aside - I have no idea as to how this works in detail, but I can imagine, that the construction/preparation works might have a certain impact on where and how the crowds flow, especially in the area concerned. Then again, Tokyo is an enormous city/metropolitan area, so I think it may simply depend on where you go. In districts far away from the Olympic Village and the stadiums, you might not really notice any difference.
Cheers!
