Next, students of the School of Global Studies presented about the city of Fujisawa, its role in preparing for the Tokyo Summer Olympics 2020, Japan's famous landscapes, and sailing, the most popular recreational activity in Fujisawa. As a co-organizer of the Olympics, the city of Fujisawa faces some challenges such as the differences between local and international cultural lifestyles, traffic issues, climatic differences, and recruiting volunteers. In response, it also devises useful solutions such as improving infrastructure, growing more trees, improving communications with foreign tourists, and creating benefits for the volunteers.
