About this event

Held at the venue adjacent to the east slope of Minamiaso Railway Kase Station, "Bonfire Gathering: Summer" is a quiet and small gathering designed to connect town and village via the railway and nurture gentle dialogue. Simply sitting around the bonfire is warmly welcomed; the event aims to provide a space where everyone can be on equal and fair ground by temporarily setting aside their everyday roles. Why not spend a relaxing time around a bonfire at the end of the month? In its third year, this gathering continues to be held in an intimate and relaxed manner. On the day, a 60-minute philosophy cafe / dialogue session titled "One-Theme Talk Time" will also be held. Participation is free with no reservations required, open to high school students and older. The event may be canceled in case of stormy weather.
