Stories from Saga Prefecture 🇯🇵🔥
✅ The joy of seeing the Olympic flame for the first time 👧💞👦
Watch as the Olympic flame travelled along the streets in Saga Prefecture.
✅ Fascinating Japanese history 🇯🇵🔙
The flame passed through the Yoshinogari Historical Park – a quaint village and an archeological site in Kanzaki CIty which dates back to the 3rd and 4th BC.
Due to its size – almost 70 hectares – and the importance of the ancient settlement there, it is considered a major archeological site.
✅The flame of hope 🙏
HARAMAKI Kazuhiro was a torchbearer in his hometown Kamimine Town 57 years ago during Tokyo 1964. Now mayor of his ward, today he returned as a torchbearer but this time for Tokyo 2020. Haramaki wants to show people his age – especially those who are fighting illnesses and injuries – there is hope. ✨
With the flame in one hand, and a walking stick in the other, Haramaki was greeted by the loud sounds of taito drums and cheering from the small crowd.
