2026 Nishi Maone Bon Odori 1-Day Perfect Course

A 1-day course centered on the opening day of 'Nishi Maone Bon Odori,' one of Japan's three great Bon Odori dances, held from August 16-18, 2026, in Ugo town center. During the day, visit Nishi Maone Bon Odori Hall (Kagaribi Hall) to learn about the dance history and traditional costumes, then enjoy a hot spring bath at Gorinsaka Onsen and Sitorando. After shopping and rest at Roadside Station Ugo Hashinui no Sato, enjoy early dinner at the town center shopping street. As darkness falls, head to Ugo town center to witness dancers with covered faces dancing gracefully in bonfire light—a perfect opportunity for families to experience this ethereal Bon Odori up close.
