What is happening in your local music scene right now?
The music scene itself isn’t particularly large, but I’m grateful that there are great venues like Ofi in Kofu. There are also interesting spaces outside the traditional club circuit, such as Mangosteen Hokuto, which hosts events, as well as campgrounds where music events can take place, making the scene feel vibrant and unique.
What local spots would you recommend?
Café
Cafe Naturalrhythm— 都留 / Tsuru
A treehouse-style café that feels like a hidden retreat for adults, perched on a cliff beside a river flowing from Mount Fuji in Tsuru, Yamanashi. They occasionally host events with music, and it’s a place where families with children can enjoy themselves as well.
