Setting up in Tokyo for the Olympics would not be difficult, in fact, an area has already been set aside in Ariake (near Odaiba) for the facilities. Many of the facilities which were used in the prior Tokyo Olympic games are still suitable.
Tokyo is safe, has plenty of hotel rooms, and transportation is efficient and convenient. The infrastructure also exists to cover and transmit the games, something which Brazil is struggling now to get set up.
Personally, I am a little tired of the commercialization of the Olympics. I liked it better in the past when only amateur athletes were permitted to compete, and no company logos were allowed. This made the event oriented toward pure competition, whereas now the priority is hard cold cash.
