The Chōfu Yosakoi festival puts on a wonderful display of high-energy dances.
Yosakoi is a form of energetic, expressive team dance — think Samba mixed with Awa Odori.
What happens?
Aside from plenty of dancing, there is usually lots of festival food on offer including oden, shaved ice, barbecued squid, yakisoba, and candy floss, as well as soft drinks and beer.
