The Kanaoka Town Bon Dance Festival, the largest event of the Kanaoka Town Residents’ Association, takes place on August 14th and 15th 📣

Each of the 11 neighborhood associations carries a uniquely decorated large drum as they parade, and they make a bold procession into Kanaoka Shrine, which sits at the heart of Kanaoka Town 👀 On the 15th, the neighborhood on duty that year performs the final shrine entry as the climactic “tori.”

After the shrine entries on both days, all 11 neighborhood drums gather around the yagura inside Kanaoka Shrine. At the signal of the Kanaoka Town song leaders, the drums all sound together and the bon dance begins ✨ People of all ages enjoy dancing late into the night while the powerful beat of the large drums reverberates across Kanaoka Town during the festival ♪
