National Stadium
The National Stadium is the main Olympic stadium for the Tokyo Olympics. It was rebuilt and finished in 2020. The biggest challenge was to keep the height of the stadium low since it is located next to the Meiji Shrine that enshrines the spirit of the Meiji Emperor. Although it can hold up to 68,000 people, its height is only 47 meters, whereas the Montreal Olympic Stadium that holds 66,000 is 165 meters high. This National stadium is also designed to survive massive earthquakes so that it will become a shelter if one occurs.
