On the 10th of October in 1964, the opening ceremony of the first Olympic games in Japan was held in Tokyo and set as a national holiday in 1966 named as "Sports day" for a memorial. It was a symbol of Japan's reconstruction from World War II and good opportunity to develop Japanese economy, then Japan moved to the high economic growth era.
After the first summer Olympic games in Japan, the winter games hosted twice in 1972 at Sapporo and 1998 at Nagano. Particularly, Nagano Olympic left a lot of debt and local goverment was forced to repayment prior to civil services.
6 years later, Tokyo will host another summer Olympic games and Japanese government motivates people to make it a success in several aspects; the economic revitalization, the opportunities to share the Japanese hospitality and courtesy, so-called "O-Mo-Te-Na-Shi",
activation of tourism in Japan the trigger new inventions and services.
The reason why today is a national holiday is because of "Happy Monday System" which has been legislated to encourage to take five days workweek system and Sports day has been set on the second Monday in October since 2000.
