The "Gujo Odori” festival is one of the three most famous traditional dance festivals in Japan. The dances have continued for over 400 years.
The festival lasts thirty-two nights, from the middle of July to early September. During the four days of Obon in mid-August (August 13 to 16), dances continue all night.
Harukoma is a simple and easy to dance for beginners. This dance mimics the movement of horses while riding.
