Lastly
Last year’s event was canceled due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake, so this will be the first time it’s held in two years. Nishi2 has covered it before, and the boys there were absolutely thrilled🤩 At that time, it was so popular that the free parking lot filled up quickly, so if you’re planning to go, it’s best to head out early.
