Oasis 21 in Sakae of Nagoya-shi, Aichi Prefecture.

A big stage built in the central square

A white board was set up in a corner of the hall, and participants were writing ideas and messages intentionfully.

It is very nice weather on this day, the temperature is over 35 degrees. The Nagoya city water supply and sewerage agency distributed cold tap water to participants including cosplayer and photographer for free.

The passage of Oasis 21 is overflowing with cosplayer and photographer.

Looking down from the second floor to the first floor, you can see how crowded with cosplayers and photographers.

Stalls of shaved ice also opened and it is extremely popular with people who visited participants and the venue.

Also discovered Drigon Ball's freezer distributing cold body sheets. It was Mr. Yamamoto Masako of " BAN BAN BAN " who is active in Freeza imitation artist.

Opening event started from 12 o'clock.

The mayor of Takashi Kawamura of Nagoya city greeted me.

We are planning to add photos of cosplayers shot at the area later, so following GIGAZINE's Twitter Official Account · Facebook Official Account will help you to know the update.
