The Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay will be held in Ibaraki Prefecture from the 4th to the 2nd.
On the first day, we will connect the torch in eight cities and towns such as Kashima City and Mito City.
The torch of the Tokyo Olympics will be handed over from Chiba prefecture to Ibaraki prefecture, and about 180 runners will connect the torch in 16 cities and towns in the prefecture.
The first day starts at Kashima Jingu in Kashima City, passes through Hitachinaka City, which was damaged by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and Daigo Town, which was severely damaged by Typhoon No. 19, and then at Senba Park Fureai Square in Mito City. Celebration will take place.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the torch relay was not held on public roads in Chiba prefecture just before and Kanagawa prefecture before that.
Ibaraki Prefecture will relay the torch on public roads as planned, assuming that the infection situation is calm, but it is recommended to watch the live video delivered on the Internet, avoid crowding or shout when watching from the roadside. We are calling for you to refrain from supporting us.
In addition, we will focus on staffing in places where people are likely to gather, and we will take measures such as calling on publicity vehicles to avoid crowding.
