Granted, it's a minnow compared to the Koenji Awa-Odori that takes place a couple of weeks later, but Shimokitazawa's version of the famed dancing-in-the-streets fest (originally from Tokushima) has a unique charm of its own. Now into its 56th year, the Shimokitazawa Awa-Odori sees 21 dance teams passionately romp along the neighbourhood's main shopping streets in the evening, and dazzle the crowds with their special routines. Be sure to hang around afterwards, when the area is engulfed in a joyous party mood.
