When owner Hiroaki Kamiya was young, he was invited to a Salsa session by a friend from Latin America. After that, he participated in a Salsa Party which was organized by a group of Japanese-Peruvians. He was impressed by women who were dancing beautifully and men who were leading women, and started “thinking that I want to be like those men”. Still, Kamiya says that when he was young, “sometimes I was laughed at because I’m Japanese but dancing Salsa.”  He adds the obvious, ”But I didn’t give up.”

Kamiya enjoys running his own Salsa Bar, and spreading Salsa. From now, He wants to create special events to make that happen.  He says that in the future, he wants to teach kids, a challenge because of his nationality and age.  Latin Soul is open from Tuesday to Thursday 8 p.m. ~ 3 a.m., and Fridays and Saturdays 8 p.m. until “very late”.  Latin Soul is closed on Mondays.  The bar accepts U.S. dollars as well as Japanese yen.

The Latin Soul is located on the second floor of the building on Gate 2 Street at 1-27-20 Chuo, and the owner notes he maintains an English menu featuring western-style food.  Aside from the salsa, the entertainment includes other Latin music, bachata, and a dance floor complete with entertainment.
