Ayusu Kaikan
This workshop venue is a 7-minute walk from the EC Info Centre, en route from Kisaki Shrine to Ogi Gym on the road that runs alongside the fishing port.
Sado Island Taiko Centre
The Sado Island Taiko Centre, located right next to Kodo Village, was designed to provide learning materials and hands-on experience in the ancient art of taiko. The two-story wooden building was made from all local materials from Sado Island, and uses "Earth Furniture" made from Sado timber. It is hoped that this facility will be a place to experience the rich performing-art culture of Sado Island, as well as a place to place to pass on a "culture of creation" to future generations. During EC, it will be used as a workshop venue. Guests will also have a chance to visit the centre on the Ogi Peninsula Tour.
Fukaura Primary School
This is the venue for the Miyake Taiko workshop on Aug 22 (Sun). There will be a special bus service to and from the venue for workshop participants.

Activities will be focused around the main shopping street in Ogi. On Aug 21 (Sat), the “Kodo Parade” will make its way down the arcade in a special fringe event. Then on Aug 22 (Sun), the Sado Performing Arts fringe will include demon drummers traveling from door to door in typical festival style. After the Shiroyama Concert on Aug 21 (Sat), join the Ogi Okesa dance circle to experience local Sado Island culture first-hand. On Aug 22 (Sun) after the Shiroyama Concert, there will be a special "Yukiai EWF Goddess" event featuring Kodo's Chieko Kojima and friends in the Ogi Port Park to conclude the 3-day programme.
