[Owara Kaze no Bon Festival and Tsukimi no Owara Festival]

  • What is "Owara Kaze no Bon"?

The Owara Kaze no Bon festival is one of Japan's most renowned traditional festivals, where dancers parade through the streets, expressing their emotions to the melancholic sounds of the shamisen, kokyu, and taiko drums, accompanied by soulful songs. The songs and dances, which have been passed down for over 300 years, are richly lyrical and dignified, possessing an elegant charm amidst their sorrowful melodies.

  • What is "Tsukimi no Owara"?

"Tsukimi no Owara" is a special event in which Club Tourism collaborates with the town to recreate the "Owara Kaze no Bon" festival.

<Attractions of the event>

Unlike the Owara Kaze no Bon festival, where the start time of the dance is unknown, there is a set time.

• You can see street dances from multiple towns at the same time.

Compared to the Owara Kaze no Bon festival, which attracts over 200,000 visitors every year, this festival is less crowded, allowing you to enjoy the festivities at your leisure.

- You can enjoy dancing on a rain-proof stage even on rainy days (dancing within the town will be canceled).

- We have designated areas where flash photography, which is prohibited at the Owara Kaze no Bon festival, is permitted.

• Seating is available.


- Notes regarding the "Tsukimi no Owara" event -

■In case of rain or when rain is expected, the outdoor dance performance will not take place, and the performance will be viewed from a rain-proof stage. No refunds will be given after departure in such cases.

■To manage congestion, the dance venue will be limited to a specific area within the town.

■Flash photography is permitted only in designated areas. Please refrain from using monopods, tripods, or step ladders.

■The event may be unavoidably canceled or its content changed at the request of the national government, local governments, etc.

[Shirakawa-go] This place is like "Japan's hometown," where you can deeply experience the rural culture, lifestyle, and way of life that represent the original landscape of Japan. The village is located in one of Japan's leading heavy snowfall areas, and until recently, it was considered a remote, secluded part of Japan. In this region, where the climate is harsh, people continue to live in traditional gassho-zukuri houses, enduring heavy snowfall for four long months of the year.

[Takayama] Hida Takayama retains almost the same scenery as when it flourished as a castle town during the Edo period. The "old townscape" is lined with sake breweries and traditional craft shops, allowing visitors to enjoy gourmet food and shopping in a space that feels like a step back in time.
