This is Edo's Bon Dance!

[Nathaly] August 14, 2014 09:00

Last weekend, the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival was canceled due to bad weather, and it is disappointing Natalie.
 

But!

There is still a big summer festival event in Chuo-ku.

It is the "Chuo-ku Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival" held every weekend in late August.

This year, it will be held at Hamacho Park on August 22 and 23. Actually, I participated for the first time last year, but it is one of the largest Bon Dances I have participated so far!

The sight of dancing the same song together in a large circle on the ground of a large park is spectacular!

Of course, I would like to participate again this year.

 

But Bon Odori hasn't been danced since elementary school, so even those who are worried about whether they can dance!

At the International Exchange Salon in Chuo-ku, you can practice Bon Odori before the Oedo Festival held on the 23rd (Sat). In addition, I can interact with foreigners through Bon Odori.

After the practice, the applicants will participate in the Bon Dance Festival. This is safe~

※The title "This is Edo Bon Dance" is the song name of Chuo-ku's original Bon Dance song.
