About this spot
Bon odori held over two days, August 19 (Wednesday) and 20 (Thursday), 2026, at the grounds of Honganji Tsuramura Betsuin, commonly known as 'Kitamido,' located in the Honmachi business district. Food stalls line the venue, and at night, the Honmachi street where businesspeople pass during the day transforms into a bustling summer festival lit by lanterns. It's appreciated as an urban bon odori where local residents and commuters can easily stop by.
