Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
It was in September in a blink of an eye, and I began to feel autumn in the wind.

A while ago, I went to Hatchobori Bon Odori, which was held at Keika Square at the end of August.
Last year, I moved to Chuo-ku and it was only a few months ago.
I didn't just look at it from the street, so this year's first full participation!
The sound of musical instruments unique to Bon Odori resonates around me, so I am naturally excited.
I felt so long that I was waiting for the traffic light.



Only the last two songs were participated, but "This is Edo Bon Dance" and "This is Edo Bon Dance".



You can feel the uniqueness of Chuo-ku and Hatchobori, such as the "Edo Hatchobori Ondo" decorated with birds.



There was an image of "Tokyo = a dry community with no neighborhood association".
Chuo-ku completely overturned my preconception
There are surprisingly many foreigners who enjoy Japanese culture in one hand, and there are international aspects.
I feel like I was able to get a glimpse of the livable aspects of Chuo-ku, which values connections within the area.
Also, the colorful Japanese lantern that colors the night sky was impressive!



At the end, fireworks were launched from the second floor.
Unlike the big fireworks festival, it can be launched nearby, so it's impressive.
What can raise fireworks in this way in the town, with the cooperation and understanding of local fire brigades.
I learned the details and easy-to-understand articles of senior correspondent Tokyo Dumbo, who was reporting on this Bon Odori the other day.

Next is Kyobashi Bon Odori at Kyobashi Chuo Hiroba, which I happened to start the next day.
The other day, Mr. Ginzo, a senior correspondent, also reported.
The venue was excited in men and women of all ages wearing yukata without losing the rain!





It is also impressive that the sound of the flute was echoing throughout the venue.



For me from Ibaraki, which is rich in nature, it was very fresh to perform Bon Odori between modern commercial facilities, but it was very fresh.
It is unique to Chuo-ku that you can enjoy Bon Odori, which combines these traditions and modern times.



You can enjoy the Bon Odori introduced this time just by looking at it.
You should also be satisfied with those who are not good at dancing!
