Cancellation of Tokyo Open 2020
On February 26, 2020, the Prime Minister of Japan stated that it is a crucial time to end the spread
of the novel coronavirus diseases early. And he requested
organizers of any large-scale sport/cultural events all over Japan to either postpone or cancel their
events.
Up until yesterday, we have been working hard to carry out Tokyo Open 2020, JDSF Congress and WDSF
Adjudicator Congress taking all measures of safety precaution according to the
instructions of the Japan Sports Agency and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Therefore, it is a real disappointment that we had to make a tough decision, which is, to cancel the 22nd Tokyo Open and the related events in response to this government requests.
We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause. Those who are listed in the starting list of Feb. 26
on the Tokyo Open website are eligible for compensation of travel expenses.
Please contact us to chieko_a@amber.plala.or.jp.
We deal with the compensation individually.
We sincerely hope to seeing you all at another times.
