 Picture1

We, NO.1 travel participated to the 38th Oizumi festival, held in Oizumi, Gumma for the weekend of July 24(Sa), 25(Su).This is one of the largest festival in the area, or even in Latin communities all over Japan, with more than 200,000 spectators.Lots of stalls are lined along the road. TAKOYAKI, YAKISOBA...typical Japanese style fast food in the festivals.

There were a lot of booths of Brazilian company, cafe or cuisine found in the area of the main stage of Brazilian live performance, adjacent to the festival.I loved Brazilian BBQ of this shop !

Although we were caught in a shower sometimes during the festival, we were really glad to see and communicate with lots of people, especially for those people in Latin communities in this North Kanto area, who are not able to visit our office in Tokyo. This would definitely be a meaningful weekend for us.See you all in the next event we go!
