Bon dances and beer take over Ueno.
What happens?
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 anime music hits.
Also expect 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).
