The torch relay launched on March 25 from J-village football training center in Fukushima prefecture is continuing around Japan.

Already, we have decided to hold a marathon game in Sapporo Hokkaido. The region has cool climatic conditions during summer. As the torch relay is going around Japan, we have been witnessing a good response. Energetic athletes, contributors and people`s positive response have encouraged me and the Japanese people."
