Nakameguro is celebrating summer with a lively Awa Odori and Yosakoi dance performance over the August 5-6 weekend. The annual festival has been running for over 50 years now and attracts a crowd of around 26,000 people every year.
Come Saturday you’ll see around 700 dancers from 21 groups parading on the streets. Sunday, on the other hand, gathers about 600 Yosakoi dancers from 29 groups. The festival runs from 6pm to 8.30pm on both days.
Many restaurants and cafés in the area will have stalls set up outside offering takeout food and drinks for you to enjoy while watching the performances.
