Finally
Last year’s event was canceled due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake, so this will be the first time in two years. Nishitsu has covered it before, and the boys there were absolutely thrilled🤩 At that time, the free parking lot filled up quickly because it was such a popular event, so if you’re planning to go, it’s best to head out early〜
