Before you go

  • Bon Odori is a community dance. Visitors can usually join the circle for free — just copy the people in front of you.
  • Wear something comfortable. A yukata (light summer kimono) is welcome but not required.
  • Carry some cash: many food stalls do not take cards. Trains can be crowded after the event, so check the last train.
  • Dates, times and weather rules change every year and a rained-out event may be cancelled on the day. Check the organizer's official page before you go.
