Statement by Takao Nakajima, chairman of the Kiba 1st and 6th Neighborhood Association, which is organizing the "Bon Odori Festival"
"We are very pleased that we can hold the Kiba 1st and 6th Neighborhood Association's Bon Odori Festival again this year, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone involved."
This festival is a traditional downtown Bon Odori dance, independently run by the neighborhood association, and is an important event for fostering connections within the community. This year, we are planning taiko drumming performances by neighborhood association members, as well as food stalls selling yakisoba, shaved ice, and other treats.
We have received many expressions of anticipation from local residents, and we expect a large number of visitors this time as well.
This year, we will once again take every precaution to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment. We look forward to seeing you at the venue!
