Grand Bon Odori Under the Bridge: SOUL BEAT ASIAAug 14 (Thu) – 16 (Sat), Aichi Prefecture

This event is held under Toyota Ohashi Bridge with the idea of gathering various artists once again so that everyone can sing and dance together, just as the area beneath the bridge has long been a place for popular entertainment—kabuki, plays, street performances, sideshows—and for people to exchange information. Although it takes place in the somewhat unusual setting beneath a bridge, it may offer sights you don’t normally get to see.
