Discovering Tomakomai: A Dive into the Culture of Local Rebels

ELLCUBE (Live music venue)

After that, we made our way to ELLCUBE, the only live house in Tomakomai. As we arrived, we found the staff busy cleaning up after the outdoor music festival “Kassei no Hi,” which had wrapped up just the day before. They looked a bit worn out, but we managed to sneak a peek inside. The floor and stage were quite spacious, and I learned that they once accommodated 368 people during an event organized by NOT WONK. The venue had a unique charm about it, and Kato mentioned, “I believe this is the best-sounding venue in Hokkaido.”
