About this spot
Held in the parking lot in front of Mallet House at Kushihara Hot Spring Sasayuri no Yu, this is a bon odori festival deeply rooted in the local community. The venue features a lively food stall village with food vendors, bazaars, and children's activities that come alive with many families from early evening into the night. This quiet mountain village transforms for just one evening, becoming lively under the glow of lanterns and the sound of bon odori taiko drums.
