Bonfire Gathering: Autumn (Gathering Around a Bonfire in Front of the Station in September, October, November)

About this event

"Bonfire Gathering / Autumn" held in Minamiaso Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, will take place on the adjacent site to the east slope of Minamiaso Railway Kase Station on the last Saturday of every month: September 26 (Sat), October 31 (Sat), and November 28 (Sat), 2026. From sunset until the last train, gather around a quiet, small bonfire to foster gentle dialogue themed around connecting the town and the village via railway. The event aims to provide a space where everyone is equal by temporarily shedding their everyday roles, and people are welcome simply to sit around the bonfire. Entering its third year, this event continues to be held in a small, relaxed manner. In addition, a 60-minute philosophy cafe / dialogue session titled "One-Theme Talk Time" will be offered, and participants can join using a bonfire nickname (pseudonym). Participation is free with no reservations required, open to high school students through adults. The event will be cancelled in case of rough weather. Why not spend a comforting time around a warm bonfire in front of the station in Minamiaso on a long autumn night?
