With the conclusion of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, Japan will look ever forward to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics just six years from now.

Today’s photo comes from Mori Tower looking northwest to the future site of the Kasumigaoka National Stadium which will be built in the coming years. I apologize for the crookedness of the photo, but if I straightened this photo the stadium in the upper right-hand corner would get cropped out. This will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2020 games.

The baseball stadium in the center, which is home to the Yakult Swallows, isn’t going anywhere (that I know of).
