"The letter I wrote for myself in the future is back!"



After the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, you can see posts like this on SNS.



Where did the letter come from?

..

The letter was delivered to the "Sakae Village International Picture Letter Time Capsule Museum" in Sakae Village, Nagano Prefecture.



In fact, eight years ago, in 2013, in order to support the realization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, we solicited messages from all over the country for ourselves and our families in 2020.



The letter was originally scheduled to arrive in the summer of 2020, but due to the postponement of the event by one year, the letter was also thrown a year later to arrive after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in July.



There are voices on the internet saying, "Almost all of them are hiragana and have pictures, so I miss them" and "I'm very happy if someone else arrives."

Haruto Ishikawa, 19 years old, who wrote the letter, said he had completely forgotten that he wrote the letter.

The letter I wrote when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school contained the message, "Are you doing the 2020 Tokyo Olympics!" And "Do your best in soccer!"



And he sent himself an ale saying, "Become a college student!"



As the letter says, Haruto became a college student and said, "I thought that my love for soccer hasn't changed since I was in elementary school. I've loved playing soccer with my friends and watching games since I was in elementary school. I did it. "



Due to the corona sickness, university classes are rarely attended online on campus.



I also support the Olympic soccer games on TV with my family.



Mr. Haruto sent an ale saying, "I think it's amazing to see Kubo of the same age scoring points every game. I definitely want you to win a medal."



In addition, her mother, Nami, said, "It's a very nice gift. I missed seeing the pictures of my childhood and talked with my son," You became a college student as the letter says. " I was able to feel thankful again. "



About 15,000 letters were sent by the Time Capsule Museum, and some letters just returned after the address changed.



The person in charge said, "Of course no one expected the Corona Olympics to be held. Even if you are in a difficult situation, you can read the ale and message from yourself eight years ago and find some light. I think it is. "
