Bon dances take over Shibuya. Along with this party in Yoyogi Park over the weekend, there will also be a Bon Odori (Bon Dance) in the center of Shibuya on August 3.
What to expect
Furusato Tokyo Ouen (Hometown Tokyo Support) Festival hold different types of events throughout the year — the main ones at Halloween and Christmas. They are most known for their food stalls, which display the very best of Tokyo’s cuisine scene. But this event also has an added edge, a giant Bon Odori dance party that will include music hits like the YMCA (a dance move everyone likes to whip out at parties) and Livin’ on a Prayer (because, well, Bon Jovi has Bon in their name).
Note that the food stalls are cash only.
Schedule
Dances take place three times throughout the day:
- 16:00–16:40
- 17:20–18:00
- 19:00–19:40
