Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay Overview
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay will start from the J-Village National Training Center in Fukushima Prefecture on Thursday 25 March 2021, and visit every corner of Japan, including areas that suffered damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake. Ten years have passed since the disaster, and one of the goals of the Olympic torch relay is to encourage people nationwide with hope for future.
The concept of the torch relay, “Hope Lights Our Way,” is inspired by the desire to show the world our commitment to overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic so that we may go on to hold the Tokyo 2020 Games as a symbol of the spirit of resilience, the unity and the solidarity of humankind.
