Japanese Olympic Committee
The Japanese Olympic Committee is the National Olympic Committee in Japan for the Olympic Games movement, based in Tokyo, Japan. It is a non-profit organisation that selects teams and raises funds to send Japanese competitors to Olympic events organised by the International Olympic Committee.
The Japanese Olympic Committee has helped organise every bid for an Olympic Games by a Japanese city to date. Japan has held the Olympic Games three times: the Summer Olympics once and the Winter Olympics twice. Japan will be hosting its fourth Olympic Games and its second Summer Olympics in 2020, twice in Tokyo.
