As for border restrictions –

The border is still shut and people are having difficulty obtaining permission to travel to Japan. Those that do manage to gain permission must quarantine for two weeks in their home, unless coming from countries which require a hotel quarantine. From now, people entering from India, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka must quarantine in a hotel for 10 days rather than 3 (as it was before).

Olympic athletes and delegations are exempt from the 14 day quarantine and face no restrictions on where they will stay. However it has been said that for 14 days they will be restricted to certain locations such as hotel and practice venues.
