EVENT
Odawara Essa-Hoi Odori
Driven by the motto "Let's create a dance festival that energizes the city!", this event is based on the Yosakoi festival—which originated in Kochi and spread across Japan—while incorporating elements unique to Odawara, such as the children's songs "Osaru no Kagoya" (The Monkey's Palanquin) and the famous "Odawara Chochin" (Odawara Lanterns).
Passionate dance performances will unfold at various venues against the backdrop of Odawara Castle.
Why not visit and make some memorable summer moments?
