Gujyo Odori in Aoyama

The Gujyo Odori is one of the three most important Bon Festivals in Japan. The main festival takes place at Gujyo Hachiman, a small town in Gifu Prefecture, in mid August and the dance consists of ten traditional songs with corresponding dances. For those in Tokyo, Aoyama holds a scaled-down version of the dance towards the end of June. The event takes place from 1pm to 8pm on both days with the dance starting at 5pm.
