We are bringing back this event after a long break to deliver the charm of Tottori that the Bird Theatre performers selected. The audience will “experience” the na-ture and culture of Tottori in the morning and watch the theatre performance in the afternoon. Each activity of “experience” is designed to value communication with those who give explanation and presentation. Please join us and enjoy not only events to take place, places to visit, but also “people” to meet during this program.
