    Tokyo has been chosen to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games ahead of Istanbul and Madrid.

    The Japanese capital won a final round of voting by International Olympic Committee (IOC) members in Buenos Aires to beat Istanbul by 60 votes to 36.

    With some canny planning the costs can be much less than you might imagine.

    Where in Japan does she dream of visiting ?
    What experiences does she hope for ?

    It's a very 'free' country with friendly people and above all....it's incredibly safe.
    Travelling around is very very quick and easy.
