Bon Odori Dancing Under Lantern-Lit Skies, Continuing Late Into the Night
About this spot
A summer festival held for four days from August 13-16 in Ono City, known for its pure waters and castle town charm. Lanterns line Rokken Street, the dance venue, where locals and tourists form circles around a stage dancing Bon Odori. While feeling the distant glow of Echizen Ono Castle viewed from the daytime, joining the dancing circle in the calm castle town atmosphere as festivities continue into the night creates an unforgettable Ono summer memory.
