Hello Friends and Neighbours,
Just a quick friendly Public Service Announcement (PSA) for you. A pretty sizeable typhoon is coming this way and expected to make landfall later on today, perhaps this evening. Typhoon warnings, even when not seeming so bad at the moment, ought to be taken seriously. The weather can change suddenly and there there is no need to find yourself in an unsafe situation.
Various summer events, including the Awa Dance Festival, have been canceled or rescheduled.
So, in the meantime, please find a good place to stay dry and sheltered for the next day. Drink well. Eat well. Have a rest.
And stay safe!
The Awa Dance Festival, has been canceled or rescheduled? Which is it? So many people put in so much time for this amazing event, it’s difficult to imagine them just saying “sorry, we’ll try again next year.”
The outside events are cancelled. A major typhoon is coming through so that is a serious issue for everyone. There is an excellent blog that has information on alternative venues to check out: https://wanderfultokushima.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/what-can-be-seen-for-awa-odori-on-august-14/?fbclid=IwAR19OWas2iZT3PT5pptDsshzV3jNpgGstVTtl292aG7e5Sxy5PwEGbIE3LU
Stay safe. Stay dry. But if possible, still get out a little and support the event.
