The Minato Mirai Grand Bon Odori brings a traditional Japanese summer dance festival to Yokohama’s waterfront.
What happens?
Join the yukata-clad masses in the annual Bon dance tradition at Rinko Park — in the shade of the skyscrapers on the Yokohama port waterfront. If the dancing tires you out, there are also plenty of stalls and beautiful views of the illuminated Yokohama Bay Bridge to keep you occupied.
Organizers are placing an emphasis on sustainability, with recycling stations around the venue and initiatives aimed at recycling waste and plastic bottles.
