(Reuters) — Japanese chief cabinet secretary Katsunobu Kato said on Tuesday that Tokyo believes there is no change in U.S. support for holding the Olympics despite its issuing a “do not travel advisory” for Japan the day before.

Separately, Olympics Minister Tamayo Marukawa said she didn’t expect any impact on the Olympics from the advisory.
