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 35,000 participants each year.    

 
Bon Odori was held on 16th July 2022 (Sat). It was crowded with about 50,000 visitors. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers, related parties, and visitors.​
