Along with Tokushima and Koenji, the Minima Koshigaya Awa Odori is one of Japan's three largest Awa dances, and it will be held around Minami Koshigaya Station. This festival is also one of the biggest summer festivals in Saitama and attracts roughly 750,000 spectators each year.
One of the main features of the Awa Odori is the local Koshigaya and Tokushima dance troupes who will be putting on full-fledged performances. You can expect many variations of the Awa Odori including the Kumi Odori and Hanashi Odors, and there’ll be so many dancers (roughly 6,500) that you’ll be able to feel the heat of the action on your skin.The dances will be performed in the form of a parade as well as on a main stage.
