What is Odottar?

Odottar is one of Japan's largest directories of Bon Odori — the summer festival dances held in neighbourhoods all over the country. We confirm the date, dance start time, venue and nearest station from the organiser's own announcement. If there's a Bon Odori happening near you this summer, this is where to find it.
