The famous event “Matsunoyama Onsen Jazz Street,” where the sounds of jazz echo throughout the Matsunoyama Onsen hot spring town in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, will be held on Saturday, September 6 this year.
Matsunoyama Onsen Jazz Street began in 2013 when someone visiting Matsunoyama Onsen happened to suggest, “The atmosphere of the hot spring town and jazz go well together. I want to hold a jazz event in Matsunoyama Onsen.” The theme is “The entire hot spring town as a stage.” Starting with free street performances at two venues, three artists will fill the hot spring town with music on a special stage.
In the first part of the special stage, the “Hitsuma Band,” which is based in Tokamachi City, and the “Happo Bijin Club,” which is based in the prefecture, will perform. In the second part, “Grace Maya & kenken,” who speak four languages and perform live throughout the country with their overwhelming singing voices and astonishing piano performances, will appear!
Advance tickets are 3,000 yen (tax included) and come with a 500 yen voucher that can be used on the day for bathing, food, and shopping.
