expected: this induced a flood of calls from hotels and inns which had not been notified of the arrival changes. All of this kept staff at the Accommodations Centre and offices extremely busy until about February 10. • Settling of Accounts Games-related personnel were required to vacate their rooms by February 26. On the following day, NAOC sent a request to each accommodation facility asking for confirmation of the total room charges. After the charges were mutually confirmed in writing, payment in full for all outstanding balances was paid by March 18. • Statistics The cumulative number of room nights for the period January 24 – February 25 is as follows: • Olympic Family <strong>IOC</strong> 14,536 IFs 9,478 NOCs 12,000 Media 68,025 Sponsors 35,839 Observers 1,531 Other guests 1,235 142,644 • Games Operations Personnel Competition officials 13,175 Volunteers 15,269 Contract workers 34,298 Participants in Cultural 3,186 Programme / Ceremonies Self-Defense Forces / Police 7,921 ORTO’98 staff 14,974 NAOC staff 2,740 91,563 TOTAL: 234,207 room nights 11. Transportation and Accommodations Many Games personnel stayed at hotels and inns near the Mt. Higashidate giant slalom venue in Shiga Kogen.
Festive lights decorate the entrance of the Asahi Media Village. 258 Media Accommodations Of the accredited personnel from press organizations and television / radio broadcasters covering the Games, 3,500 were accommodated at the two Media Villages in Nagano City, and another 4,000 stayed at 105 area hotels and inns. In consideration of the long hours that media personnel would work due to time differences, accommodations were secured as close as possible to the MPC, IBC, and competition venues. The Yanagimachi Media Village and the Asahi Media Village were located 4km and 6km respectively from the MPC and IBC in newlyconstructed high rise complexes built by Nagano Prefecture and the Prefectural Housing Association. All rooms at the Media Villages were in principle for single-person use. Based on rates charged at previous Games, prices were set at ¥14,000 per night including breakfast. Rates charged at hotels also included breakfast. With the consent and understanding of the Japanese media, priority for reserving rooms at the Media Villages was given to overseas media personnel. This decision was taken with the convenience of overseas guests in mind, since there were few private hotels with foreign language services, and overseas visitors were unfamiliar with the geography of the area. As the two Media Villages were to be used as residential housing facilities after the Games, residents during the Games were asked to follow Japanese custom by taking off their shoes at the doorway to the units. While the <strong>IOC</strong> Press Commission at first expressed concern that there might be complaints from the international media, they agreed to support NAOC’s request, and no difficulties were encountered. Restaurant at the Yanagimachi Media Village Information about media accommodations was sent out in January 1997 to the NOCs along with applications forms for Games accreditation and accommodations and the Media rate card. Although the deadline for media accommodations applications was April 1, requests for changes and additions continued to come in until just before the Games, and coordinating it all was an immense task. Media Villages Officially, the two Media Villages were in operation from January 24 – February 25, 1998. However, in order to accommodate the large number of people from broadcasting companies in town making preparations for the Games, part of the Yanagimachi Media Village opened from January 7. Each apartment unit consisted of 3 – 4 bedrooms at least 10m 2 in area, as well as one shower / toilet area per two rooms. Each room was provided with a television set equipped to receive the international signal as well as British and American satellite news services. As well as Info’98 terminals, information desks were set up to provide general Games information. Shuttle bus service to the MPC and IBC was available around the clock, and for early morning competitions, buses ran directly to the venues. The Media Villages were mostly staffed by Games volunteers, however three months prior to the Games, experienced personnel from leading hotels in Japan were stationed at the villages to help ensure the smooth running of operations. Including a number of hotel management students, 670 people at the Yanagimachi Village, and 430 people at the Asahi Village worked in three shifts daily to provide a highly efficient and comfortable level of service that earned many accolades from the resident guests.
