The 1964 Summer Olympics were an international multi-sport event held from 10 to 24 October 1964 in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo had been awarded the organization of the 1940 Summer Olympics, but this honor was subsequently passed to Helsinki due to Japan’s invasion of China, before ultimately being canceled due to World War II. Tokyo was therefore chosen as the host city during the 55th IOC Session in West Germany on 26 May 1959.Thus, the 1964 Summer Games were the first Olympics held in Asia.
