The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are preparing for 17,000 athletes and officials, creating an unexpected accommodation challenge. Organisers will charter Costa Serena, housing 4,000–5,000 participants, while another 2,000 will stay in container-style huts at Nagoya’s Garden Pier. Hotels will accommodate the rest, with some participants staying in Tokyo. The multi-location strategy aims to manage the accommodation shortage while keeping costs under control.
