2026 Ichiichiichi Bon Odori Full-Day Experience Course

A full-day course centered on the opening day of "Ichiichiichi Bon Odori" held from August 18-20, 2026 (Tuesday-Thursday) along Ichiichiichi Kamimachi Odori in Hachirogata Town, Minami-Akita District. During the day, pay respect at Ichiichiichi Shrine, which is connected to the Bon Odori tradition, then enjoy shopping and resting at Michi no Eki Showa. After experiencing the history of land reclamation by viewing Hachirogata Adjustment Pond, once Japan's second-largest lake, have an early dinner around Ichiichiichi Kamimachi Odori. As evening falls, return to the main street to enjoy the rustic Bon Odori where dancers form circles around the festival tower—a perfect family experience. This course allows you to experience both the expansive landscape of reclaimed land and the warm charm of a summer festival deeply rooted in the local community.
