The Experience
Experience Japan's largest dance festival, Awa Odori The Awa Dance Festival (Awa Odori) is the country's largest dance festival as part of the Obon festival in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. Dancers and musicians known as ren parade through the streets accompanied by traditional instruments, wearing obon dance costumes and chanting. "Awa" refers to the old name of Tokushima Prefecture, and "odori" means "dance". "Odoru aho ni miru aho, onaji aho nara odoranya sonson" (A fool watches a fool dancing, If they're both fools, let's dance). It's the lyrics sung by the dancers during the festival.
※The spectator seats will be S-class seats. ※Feel free to enjoy dinner during your free time in Tokushima City before the event starts, where numerous food stalls will be available at the venue.
