A “group for holding a torch relay in churaumi [beautiful sea] (Representative: Satoshi Matsui)” is conducting a signature-collecting campaign to hold the 2020 Tokyo Olympic torch relay at sea or under the sea in Okinawa. The group expects, “If the image of Okinawa’s beautiful sea is shown all over the world, that will lead to revitalizing Okinawa’s economy, with more tourists visiting Okinawa.” (Abridged)
