Children playing in the sandbox happily. Actually, this “sand” is not just “sand”. It is Yoshitomi Elementary School in Yoshitomi Town, which is located in the easternmost part of Fukuoka Prefecture. After noon on the 20th, about 8 tons of sand spread in the sandbox at the playground. At the beach volleyball venue of the Tokyo Olympics, it is the so-called “legacy sand” that sucked in the sweat and tears of the players. Yoshitomi Town took over from the Olympic Committee because we wanted the children to feel it and to pursue their dreams and hopes. The children were very happy, saying, “It feels good,” “It’s smoother than the sand in front of it, and it’s also rough,” “It’s fluffy, it’s fluffy, it’s fluffy and fun.” This time, Yoshitomi Town has taken over 360 tons of sand in total. It will be used for 7 sandboxes in total, including childcare facilities and elementary and junior high schools in the town, and children will play during breaks and use it for physical education. ..
