This event offers the appeal of both arts and culture with sports, featuring special performances by Koichi Omae, a dancer with a prosthetic leg and blind guitarist Hiroaki Tagawa who make full use of their individuality in their work, as well as a talk session with Atsushi Yamamoto, a Paralympian who has competed in three consecutive Paralympics since the Beijing Games.
We hope you take this opportunity to enjoy Tokyo Tokyo Festival with family and friends.

The event includes a photo session with Paralympian Yamamoto and performance artists Omae and Tagawa, and this event’s host Kaminari. For 20 people only on a first-come-first-served basis!
Numbered tickets for the photo session will be given out from 10:10 on the day of the event.
