Highly anticipated Seppuku Pistols, who walked 40km from Tokamachi to Matsudai during the last ETAT, will appear across the Echigo-Tsumari region again this year. On some days they will appear at local festivals, on other days somewhere in the mountains. Don’t miss your chance to catch their performance!
