I had never participated in a Bon Odori before, so this was my first experience. The instruction was easy to understand and I felt like my heart was united as we all danced in a circle! There were also taiko drums and shamisen, which I was able to touch and really enjoy! Highly recommend it! Thank you very much for the fun time!
Enchanting Bon Odori Experience

The Bon Odori experience was absolutely fantastic! The live Shamisen and Taiko drum performances were extraordinary and truly moving. The host's professional mastery of the Shamisen was awe-inspiring. Dancing in synchrony with everyone was incredibly enjoyable, making us feel like one big family. This experience has only intensified my eagerness to participate in an actual Bon Odori festival soon. I had an absolutely wonderful time.
BON Dance!

So much fun! The people running the class were amazing. They are very kind and knowledgeable. They gave us easy to follow directions to get there which was so helpful. We actually got there early and we were treated to live shamisen (which was amazing). They even let us try the instruments. The dancing seemed a little intimidating at first but they were very patient and made it fun. We did manage to pick up the dance (even those who don't normally dance). It was such a nice cultural experience. We are so grateful they allowed us to participate in it. This is a great activity for any age. My family and I enjoyed this class so much and we walked away with great memories from it. I highly recommend it.
