A Japan Photo per Day - Kagurazaka Awa Odori Dancers

By Muza-chan on Jul 24, 2010 | In A Japan Photo per Day | 32 feedbacks »

Awa Odori is a dance festival originating in Tokushima (Awa being an old name for Tokushima). The festival is a wonderful explosion of joy and exuberance and it will definitely go into my list of Must See Japanese Scenes.
The Kagurazaka Awa Odori started yesterday in the Kagurazaka neighborhood and it will continue today, so if you’re in Tokyo, it is really worth to go see it!

昨日の神楽坂阿波踊りはすごかった。そして、阿波踊りも英語だと「dancer」なんですね。なんか面白い。RT @Muzachan A Japan Photo per Day - Kagurazaka Awa Odori Dancers [link]
