The Doda Bon Dance Festival 2026 was successfully held on August 16th from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at the Doda School Yard.
We sincerely thank everyone who joined and supported the event.
The festival welcomed many participants who enjoyed dancing in a lively circle to traditional music.
On the same night, the famous Gozan Okuribi bonfires lit up the mountains of Kyoto, creating a memorable summer evening for all.
Bon Dance, or Bon Odori, is a traditional Japanese event held during the Bon festival to honor the spirits of ancestors.
It is also an important cultural activity that brings the community together.
We appreciate your participation and look forward to welcoming you again next year.
