About this spot

This is a local Bon Odori festival held from August 18-20, 2026 (Tuesday-Thursday) along Kamimachi Odori in Ichiichiichi district of Hachirogata Town. True to Ichiichiichi's heritage as a merchant town since the Edo period, a festival tower (yamagata) is erected on the main street, and dancers in yukata form circles to the rhythm of the drums. While unpretentious, this Bon Odori carries a warm and genuine atmosphere where community members of all ages gather. As the finale to a day spent exploring Hachirogata Town's history and landscape through shrine visits and pond viewing, experience the spirit of this local summer festival rooted in the community.
