Increased hours for police and sanitary workers to cope with people not as into tidiness as the locals, and Japan would get a huge net win out of hosting. Tokyo could handle the gaijin influx fine.

Hey, who´s talking about inaka vs capital? We´re talking about the Japanese society and the impact the Olympics will cause to Japan - and vice-versa. If you are still in the realm of dreams, wake up with this recent article from CNN http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/10/09/japan.inn.room.foreigners.ap/index.html Still dreaming that Japanese will welcome hords of tourists in 2016?

IMO, Japanese people is not ready, or not willing to be ready, to host such a big event that attracts hords of gaijin. Unless, of course, they are going to have Tokyo Olympics exclusively for the Japanese crowd. Ehh, I do expect to see things like ¨no foreigners allowed¨ , or Japanese refusing to get on subway cars with gaijin inside or to sit down next to one, or shop employees shouting ¨irashaimase¨ - with the true meaning of: ¨gaijin inside! robber inside!¨.

A whole lot of infrastructure would have had to have been revamped in Tokyo for that. (Also, London in 2012, not 2010!)
