Ceremony changes

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and several prefectures declared state of emergency amid COVID-19 surge and in Shizuoka Prefecture's case, the 2021 Atami landslide,^[10][11] many of the public stages of the relay were truncated to be more ceremonial rather than functional such as alternative events. Participants of the relay would carry the torch for about 30 meters before passing the flame to another participant rather than carrying it for long stretches.

End of torch relay

At the 2020 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony, the relay ended with the lighting of the cauldron. Yui Kamiji, Karin Morisaki, and Shunsuke Uchida lit the cauldron.
