Japan has hosted one Summer Games and two Winter Games.Tokyo hosted the Summer Games of 1964.Sapporo hosted the Winter Games of 1972.And Nagano hosted the Winter Games of 1998.Notably, Japan had been chosen to host a few more games. Both Tokyo and Sapporo were supposed to host games in 1940, but that was before they went on a wartime footing--the games were originally moved then called off altogether because too much of the world was involved in World War II.
three times
Barcelona, Spain hosted the Olympics in 1992.
3 times (twice in Los Angeles and once in Squaw Valley).
Taiwan, or Chinese Taipei as it is recognised by the International Olympic Committee, has never hosted the Olympics. In fact technically a country never hosts the Olympics; they are awarded to a city. So, for instance, London, of which the British are justifiably proud, has hosted the games three times, but the USA has hosted the games more times, as they have been awarded to various cities (St Louis, Los Angeles twice, Atlanta, Lake Placid twice, Squaw Valley and Salt Lake City). If the games were ever to be held in Taiwan, they would probably be awarded to Taipei, which is Taiwan's biggest city.
Yes, Japan hosted the Olympics three times. Tokyo hosted the Summer Olympics in 1964, Sapporo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1972, and Nagano hosted the Winter Olympics in 1998. Tokyo is scheduled to host the Summer Olympics again in 2020.
