A Warm Bon Odori Festival Created by Local Residents
About this spot
Held on August 23, 2026 (Sunday) at Ado Central Park's multipurpose plaza (安堵中央公園多目的広場), this community-focused bon odori festival is run primarily by local neighborhood associations and children's groups. Though modest in scale, this summer festival exudes warmth and offers the calm, peaceful festive atmosphere of quiet countryside near UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Horyu-ji (法隆寺) and Chugu-ji (中宮寺) temples. Its family-friendly scale is a major attraction.
