ONE STEP LIVESat, Dec 6 – Shizuoka Prefecture
ONE STEP LIVE is organized and run primarily by local university students, driven by the hope that it will serve as a catalyst—one of those moments in which, amid our changed daily lives, people can find dreams and make friends to share them with. The structure enables students to turn ideas into reality, connect with one another, and engage with local companies, broadening their future paths through these experiences. Students and businesses work together to energize the event. There are also thoughtfully designed activities that parents and children can enjoy casually, making it a family-friendly music festival we highly recommend.
