Why You Should Visit

A one-day, free-entry "Station-Front Expo" at Benten Hiroba, the plaza in front of JR Bentencho Station. The stage runs from a local kids' dance to oud and bansuri music, Nepali dance, hula, belly dance and jazz, with an African batik and Expo-style fashion show at 16:00. Food stalls serve dishes from Nepal, the Philippines, Africa, Jordan, Egypt and Cambodia alongside menus from local shops, and imported goods are on sale too. From 18:00 it turns into a disco night with a DJ and a live band. Good for families who want to graze on world food by the station, and for anyone up for a little dancing after dark.
