Ohara Festival: 20,000 People Dance In This Japanese Event. #おはら祭 #dance
The 73rd Ohara Festival, with more than a 70 year history, is the largest festival in Southern Kyushu. The highlight of the festival is a dance to the popular Kagoshima folk song “Ohara Melody.
Japanese taiko drumming by Kagoshima’s attractive and gallant women, parades, marching band processions and traditional performing arts. The spectacular “So-odori” features more than 20,000 dancers in costumes of different team colors. This is a two day event with the night event on November 2nd, and the main dance event on November 3rd. You can check out the night event video in my video log.
Kagoshima is still a best kept secret because it’s not close to the big tourist area. And that’s the beauty of it! Come explore the many wonderful places in Kyushu!
