In addition to the thrilling competition, the World Championships provide an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of athletics, fostering a sense of global unity and showcasing Tokyo’s cultural vibrancy. Fans, both local and international, will enjoy a truly immersive experience, with the city’s extensive transport system making travel between the stadium, fan zones, and tourist attractions seamless.
