The Tokyo Olympics torch relay set off from Fukushima on Thursday (Mar 25), a year later than originally planned.

Fans will be able to line the route and clap as the flame traverses the country, borne by 10,000 runners and passing through all of Japan’s 47 prefectures before arriving at Tokyo’s National Stadium for the Jul 23 opening ceremony.
