We didn't quite know what to expect, but we knew there would be live music, dancing, and a shadow show.
We arrived early enough to get pretty good seats, directly in front of the "stage".
The stage was on the river's edge, just under a (man made) waterfall.
We watched WAYNO -one of our favorite bands -most of the members are from South America and they play an awesome blend of music which is great to sit and listen to on a muggy summer afternoon.
There was a great assortment of music and dance performances which are hard to describe in words. Needless to say, it was a little surreal to be sitting in a riverside in Japan watching images being projected onto the mountain side and dancers and singer interacting with the 'natural' surroundings.
Ooyama is famous for glass blowing, and in amongst the performances you could see hundreds of hand made creations, holding candles that were lit at dusk.
More pics from the evening.
We finished off the night at an Okinawan restaurant before Ichiro took my back to Kurobe.
A great time!
