Actor Satomi Ishihara, who is the "official ambassador", participated in the torch relay held in Nagasaki Prefecture from the 7th as a runner.
The Tokyo Olympic torch relay will be handed over to Nagasaki Prefecture from the 7th, and about 180 runners will run in 17 cities and towns for 2 days until the 8th.
Actor Satomi Ishihara participated in the torch relay held at the Peace Park in Nagasaki City on the night of the 7th and ran with a torch.
Mr. Ishihara said that his participation was triggered by his strong feelings for peace through the interaction with the A-bomb survivors he met in Nagasaki through the documentary program of the atomic bomb.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the venue was unattended, but Mr. Ishihara ran with a smile and handed it over to the next runner.
