Roppongi Hills Bon Dance 2025, Aug 22–Aug 24, 2025

Name: Roppongi Hills Bon Dance 2025
Start: 2025-08-22T15:00+09:00
End: 2025-08-24T21:00+09:00

The sleek concrete of the Roppongi Hills Arena will be taken over by kimono-clad Bon dancers for the weekend.

What happens?

This festival boasts a unique dance — the Ropponjin Ondo — roughly translated as the Roppongi Workman’s Dance. All are invited to master the dance (no doubt featuring lots of typical Roppongi Hills work actions such as operating a keyboard and mouse, taking the elevator, and using the shredder).

Schedule 2025

Note that there is no Bon Odori dancing on the first day (Friday), but there will be food and drink stalls on all days. All events occur at Roppongi Hills Arena, except for the children’s entertainment space along Keyakizaka-dori Street.
