Come and enjoy a concert by some amazing bands and musicians who have graciously agreed to play for free for the charity event! Also enjoy meeting the members of SWTJ, hear about our activities in the areas affected by the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, and try some of the food and snacks SWTJ’s “Kyoto Caravan”is providing during its trips in the disaster area.
