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 about 30,000 participants each year.    

Bon Odori 2024 was held on 20th July (Sat). It was attended with about 30,000 visitors. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers, related parties, and visitors.​
