Photos at Mihama Manga MegaExpo Ver3

I joined Mihama Manga MegaExpo Ver3 in Okinawa. Here is some picture in Okinawa!! We can enjoy the beach even in Japan. Luckily, the temperature on that day was 27 C! That’s Okinawa temperature :). We can take Cosplay pictures on the beach as well.

One thing I surprised was there were so many non-Japanese attendees which was not happen in Tokyo. I assume that there is a American base.
The location itself is wonderful but they enjoyed dancing, cosplaying and attending some free-markets!!

Here are Cosplay Cars, bicycles and truck!!

Here are the scenes of the events. I expected to see more Cosplayers, but I saw more Americans than Cosplayers!!
