Stories from Oita Prefecture! 🔥 🇯🇵

✅ Travelling through an ancient Samurai City ⚔️

Today the #OlympicTorchRelay visited the town of Kitsuki, and we travelled back in time to know what life was like for samurai.

Check out this city in Oita Prefecture, where we can see one of the smallest castles in Japan. 🏯

✅ Obaachan’s and ojiisan’s give a wave 👵👴

This afternoon in Usa City as the Olympic flame made its way to the final destination of Usa Jinja – one of Kyushu’s most prominent shrines – a group of obaachan’s and ojiisan’s (grandma and grandpa in Japanese) along with their carers waved and cheered on the torchbearer.

✅ The torch kiss 🤩

Check out the different ways our torchbearers chose to carry the torch in Oita Prefecture. 🔥🇯🇵
