Tokyo metropolitan city is now vying to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. It is said that if the Olympic Games are held in Tokyo many foreign tourists would come to Japan, which contributes to rejuvenate Japanese economy. I agree with it.
Nonetheless, I think that the strategy to host the 2020 Olympics isn’t appropriate. I have two reasons why I think so.
First, Tokyo’s slogan is “the Olympics for Japan’s revival” form the Great East Japan Earthquake. But I think if we hold up the slogan we should hold the Olympic Games in Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi prefectures, which were hit hardest by the Great Earthquake.
Second, Tokyo’s plan feature is compact. Major competition venues will be concentrated within an eight-kilometer radius in central Tokyo. However, the area of the Tokyo metropolitan city is about 2200 square kilometers. It isn’t unreasonable that many residents in Tokyo aren’t always interested in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Although I don’t necessarily oppose to host the Olympic Games in Japan, I think such a magnificent principle Tokyo city worked out to host the Olympic Games contradicts the reality.
In short, we should hold the Olympic Games in Tohoku region if we want to appeal Japan’s revival from the Great Earthquake. We should hold the Olympic Games in Chiyoda ward, which is in Tokyo city and has about 12 square kilometers area, if we want to feature compact.

"Nonetheless" could be used, but "however" would be better
First, Tokyo’s slogan is “the Olympics for Japan’s revival” (Talking about the Great Eastern Japanese Earthquake).
However, the area of the Tokyo metropolitan city is about 2200 square kilometers.
Although I don’t necessarily oppose Japan hosting the Olympic Games, I think that, although Tokyo is hosting the Olympic Games for such a magnificent reason, it's contradicting the reality of the situation.
In short, we should hold the Olympic Games in Tohoku region if we want the Olympics to be about Japan’s revival from the Great Earthquake.
We should hold the Olympic Games in Chiyoda ward, which is in Tokyo city and is about 12 square kilometers in area, if we want the Olympics to be compact.
