On the first floor of Toyooka City Hall, there is a display with memorabilia related to the German and Swiss national rowing teams’ pre-Games training camp. There are welcome tapestries that like the ones currently displayed in Kinosaki Onsen, cheering flags, and German and Swiss national flags signed by the athletes.
Although the rowing competitions were held without spectators, we are wishing the athletes the best of luck from Toyooka.
