Tokyo Tourism is pleased to share the announcement issued by Tokyo Metropolitan Government:

During the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, Japan will host untold numbers of athletes, tourists, and international media representatives. Most, if not all, people will need access to all sorts of information about the Games and Tokyo itself. Supplying that information will be the job of the Tokyo Media Center (hereafter TMC,) which has just started accepting account registrations.

Unlike the Main Press Centre (MPC) or the International Broadcast Centre (IBC), the two bodies operated by the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, the TMC is a media base that doesn’t limit itself to coverage of just the Olympic Games. While it does things like renting out workspaces covering, press conferences, and distributing of media kits, it also works to provide information about everything Tokyo related. This can take the form of support and guidance for filming around Tokyo, media tours, and access to exclusive articles on their website.

However, some of these services will require an accreditation card, which can be only obtained by registering on the TMC website using an active account. Details about obtaining the accreditation card will be posted on the site some time in or after January 2020, but please be aware that the process involves screening potential candidates whose application may be declined. Those who do obtain the card will gain quick and easy access to media coverage spots around Tokyo as well as crucial historical and cultural information about Japan that will help put their reporting in the proper context. Any media company that plans to move smoothly and efficiently around Tokyo should make use of the TMC’s services.
