Awa Odori Dance Festival in Koenji, Tokyo

The Awa Odori Festival is held every August by Koenji Station in Tokyo. The festival attracts over 1 million visitors and has 12,000 performers. This video was taken August 23rd and 24th for the 58th annual festival in 2014. The performers danced in many different locations in Koenji and the video shows a few of the performances I saw during the festival. This was one of my favorite events and is a must see if you're in Tokyo when it occurs! The streets are lined with food and drink vendors and the end performances are always intense and exciting. I included one of the end performances as the final clip in this video. Enjoy!
