The Summer Deaflympics Games to be held in Tokyo in 2025 will be the first in Japan, and will also mark the 100th anniversary of the first Deaflympics held in Paris in 1924. Prior to the Games Foundation Plan, which will be formulated in the future as an overall plan for the Games, we formulated an overview that mainly summarizes basic information about the Games.
