【Bon Dancing bustling with costumes and stalls】 Bon Dancing in Nishiokoppe Village is held every year Held in on August 14 in the Kamiokoppe area and August 15 in the Nishiokoppe area. You can enjoy Bon Dancing for two days in the Village. Stalls are also different for each, so It was also exciting to spend time worrying about what to eat. Children's Bon Dancing and Hokkai Bon Song Both have about 30 minutes to dance. If you want to keep dancing, you need a lot of physical strength...! The people in costume are especially sweaty. Thank you very much for your costume! In the summer, there are many lively nights, which is energizing. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Bon Dancing #Summer #Masquerade #Stalls
