A new survey has found that more than half of Tokyo residents do not want the postponed Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held next year.
Tokyo 2020 has been moved back to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but doubts remain about the Games going ahead.
The survey, carried out over the phone by Kyodo News and the Tokyo MX television channel, was taken by 1,030 people.
It found that 51.7 per cent want the Games to be postponed again or cancelled, with 46.3 per cent wanting the re-arranged Tokyo 2020 to take place.
Out of those who are opposed to next year, 24 per cent said they would favour a second postponement.
This option has been repeatedly rejected by Tokyo 2020 and International Olympic Committee officials, however.
Complete cancellation was backed by 27.7 per cent.
