Get ready to participate in one of the last Bon Odori festivals this summer. Miyashita Park’s very own Bon Odori will take over its rooftop on September 27 and 28. Expect to see folks dancing to the beat of traditional taiko drums as well as contemporary DJ mixes of J-pop and city pop. Everyone is welcome at this communal dance soiree, which will take place around a yagura stage adorned by Japanese lanterns.
Stores and restaurants in Miyashita Park will be setting up stalls at the festival’s outdoor market.
Details have yet to be announced for 2025. Follow the organiser’s Instagram for updates.
