Bon Odori

This event started out as a small affair for Japanese expatriates to immerse their children in Japanese culture in 1977. It has now grown into a much-awaited annual event of more than 30,000 participants each year.

Dance with enthusiasm in circles to the tunes of the Japanese traditional Bon Odori dance is truly remarkable. Additionally, there are many stalls featuring Japanese street food at the venue, which many of our fans look forward to. Please come to enjoy the dance, see people dressed in Yukata, and to hear and feel the sound of Japanese drums.
