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 ♪

🏮Kanaoka Town Bon Dance Festival🥁
Location: Kanaoka Shrine
Dates: Thursday, August 14th and Friday, August 15th
Inquiries: Kanaoka Shrine (📞072-258-2127)

On an autumn evening when summer heat fades, we will hold Moon Viewing Yoga (＊) at a historic temple wrapped in silence🎑

Practice yoga that focuses on the rhythms of the moon and the body, and listen to a talk on the yin-yang and five elements theory from the deputy chief priest, spending a special time feeling the connection between the moon, people, and nature🌙

After yoga, enjoy a hospitality tea ceremony and Japanese sweets🍵
We look forward to your reservations😊🎶

The moon’s phases, such as the new moon and full moon, are deeply connected to the rhythms of nature.

By practicing yoga with awareness of the moon’s rhythm,
you can gently turn inward and cultivate a sense of harmony with nature.
