Olympic torch relay, said officials on Wednesday, as Covid-19 concerns continue to plague the Games just over two weeks before they begin.
Private flame-lighting ceremonies will replace public relay events across the capital beginning Friday, said the Tokyo city government.
Right up to the opening ceremony on 23 July, the torch events will be streamed online, with authorities urging spectators to watch them "in the comfort of your home".
Only the relay leg in the Ogasawara islands -- a remote archipelago some 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) south of Tokyo -- will go ahead as scheduled.
