The Tokyo Olympic torch relay celebrated its second day in Gifu Prefecture on the 4th, and while it was raining, runners ran through Sekigahara Town, which was the stage of the battle of Sekigahara, the division of the world.
The torch relay on the 4th, which is the second day in Gifu Prefecture, started in Gero City, which is known for its hot springs, before 8 am, and has traveled to 6 cities and towns.
Of these, in Sekigahara Town, where the battle of Sekigahara was set, it became a relay while it was raining, and we left the Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Hall, which opened in October last year, after 2:00 pm.
The runners were careful about the wet road surface and carried the torch, and people along the road with umbrellas said, "Do your best."
Koji Yamamoto, an actor who played Mitsunari Ishida, who leads the Western Army in the taiga drama "Sanada Maru," also participated and climbed Mt. Sasao, which is said to have set up a camp.
The torch relay will be thoroughly protected against the infection of the new coronavirus, and the executive committee of Gifu Prefecture will support it by live broadcasting via the Internet, saying that it may be interrupted if excessive congestion occurs. I'm calling.
The torch relay in Gifu Prefecture will finish all the dates on the night of the 4th, and in the final city of Gifu, it will be transported to Gifu Castle on the mountaintop by ropeway and then to go around the city.
