'Hope Lights Our Way' the motto for the Olympic Τorch Ρelay ofTokyo 2020!

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) announced that the concept for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay across Japan will be “Hope Lights Our Way”, uniting the Japanese people around messages of supporting, accepting and encouraging one another.

Tokyo 2020 also announced that upon its arrival in Japan, the Olympic flame will initially be put on display at various locations in the Tohoku region, to help underscore this message of hope in the areas affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Only after this will the actual Olympic Torch Relay begin, taking in all 47 prefectures of Japan.
