With just over a month until the Olympic flame arrives, organizers of the Tokyo Games held a dress rehearsal Saturday for the Japan leg of the torch relay.

Four runners carried unlit Olympic torches for around 200 meters each in Hamura, western Tokyo, on Saturday morning as the organizers went over preparations for the start of the domestic portion of the relay on March 26.

With traffic restrictions in place, torchbearers wearing the official white uniforms ran on a road in front of spectators that included residents and government officials.
