Tsuwano Bon Odori Festival on a Castle Town's White-Walled Streets
About this spot
The Tsuwano Bon Odori Festival takes place on Tonocho Street, lined with white-walled storehouses and koi-filled moats, creating an emotionally rich summer festival true to the castle town's character. Held on August 15, 2026, locals and visitors alike form circles to dance together. The same town you explored during the day—passing the Inari shrine, church, and former residence—transforms under lantern lights at night, revealing a different beauty. Experience the serene Bon Odori atmosphere of this "Little Kyoto of San'in" with your family.
