Ever dreamt of taking the stage and entertaining the masses with your piano skills?

Now is your chance to hold an impromptu performance at the JR Shichinohe-Towada Station, a short 40-minute drive from Misawa Air Base. Try it out for yourself or take your kids for a fun practice in a public place.

The piano was installed in the station in June, 2019 after a local suggested the idea to use a surplus piano left over from a recent school consolidation. After some searching, a 27-year-old piano from a closed middle school was chosen to grace the passageway to the station.

No matter your skill level, the piano is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Stop by next time you find yourself at JR Shichinohe-Towada Station and maybe you’ll catch some great tunes or even put on a show yourself!
