Summer Bon odori dance at a complex facility at the island's gateway

About this spot

A summer tradition Bon odori dance held at 'Kouri no Eki Solahashi,' a complex facility like a roadside station located at the gateway of Kouri Island. Scheduled for August 15, 2026. Lanterns illuminate the plaza of the facility, which includes a shop selling local produce and seafood, and at the sound of the drums, local people and tourists alike form circles to dance together. On this open island surrounded by sea, the summer festival night where you can feel the ocean breeze is extraordinary.

Tips

The facility's parking lot is limited, so arriving early is recommended. Since the location is near the sea, nights can be windy, so a light jacket or wrap is comfortable. The availability of food stalls varies by year, so it's wise to bring light snacks just in case.

Best time to visit

Starting at 5 PM. From 6 PM onward when the lanterns are lit, the most festive atmosphere prevails.
