The public square in front of Jiyugaoka Station is hosting a massive Bon Odori festival between July 18 and 20. Expect lively dancing to begin at 6.30pm each night to the tune of Bon Odori classics such as ‘Tokyo Ondo’ as well as local favourites like 'Jiyugaoka Kouta' folk song and the 'Tanko-bushi' coal mining folk song.
