The Tokyo Motor Show has been cancelled for first time in its history. The organizers called show off because of increase in number of coronavirus cases in Japan. Akio Toyoda, chairperson of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, said: "The Tokyo Motor Show is being cancelled, not delayed. It's difficult to hold event in way in which many people will be able to experience the appeal of cars in safe and secure environment." Tokyo has just been put under two-week state of emergency to try and reduce surge in COVID-19. Japan's government is worried about the pandemic because it will host Tokyo Olympics in July. Many Japanese people want to cancel the Olympics.

The Tokyo Motor Show was first held in 1954. It is one of world's top five motor shows. It attracted over 1.3 million motoring professionals and enthusiasts in 2019. Mr Toyoda said his team considered holding show online, but decided physical, in-person event would be better experience. The show differs from other auto events around world because it focuses more on innovation. There are usually more concept cars than actual production cars in show. This means we can get look at what cars might look like in future. Mr Toyoda said: "The Tokyo Motor show collaborates with number of industries to envision new future for mobility."
