Once in a lifetime is a bit hyperbolic, especially for a rich country like Japan.
While I agree Tokyo should get a second shot, I’m old enough to remember the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, which most definitely featured a Japanese cultural showcase. Japan also hosted the 1972 Winter Games in Sapporo.
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA hosted the Winter Olympics in 2002, and is hosting again in 2034.
Los Angeles hosted the Summer games in 1984 and will be hosting again in 2028.
Tokyo just has to reapply and demonstrate a good case, which I’m sure they will.
