Tokyo is already super crowded and there will be no space, plus there are already existing usable facilities in Tokyo area so there will be a no brainer to build a new one. Cities such as Rio and Beijing build their venues in a concentrated point where the demand is not that high, hence, many of them are wasted after the Olympic since there is less users and the maintenance is high. (One of the reason why host cities build venues in concentrated area mainly not because there aren't any existing venues but because those venues don't meet Olympic requirement such as distance from Olympic village, capacity, and other requirements)
