A prominent Japanese folklore event attended by more than 200,000 people each year. With the melancholy sound of the kokyu fiddle echoing through Yatsuomachi, a sloping town, the men dance passionately and women dance with elegance. Enjoy the distinct dances of each of the 11 districts of the “Old Town.”
