65th Koenji Awa-odori Dance 第65回東京高円寺阿波おどり

The Tokyo Koenji Awa-odori Dance has become one of the standout festivals of the Tokyo summer, with more than 10,000 dancers and a million spectators. Embedded within its 67-year history is the desire to bring cheer and joy to the town and people through the smiling faces of the performers. 2023 was the first time in four years for performances to be held outside, dancers and spectators together, with the whole town awash with excitement.
This year’s performances are not only outside, but also held at two locations with thrilling stage shows presented during the day. Enjoy the return of passionate Awa-odori dancing to the streets of Koenji over two days.
