Today we started a three day visit to Taka-cho, a small town about 2 hours away from Takarazuka. We came by bus through the country hills filled with rices paddies and small homes and arrived at the hall where we'll be performing. After our rehearsal, the people in the town held a reception at the hall which included delicious food, an amazing Taiko drum performance, and mochi making.
