Scenes from last year’s festival↓
When you think of the Ashihara Local Bon Odori Festival, it has to be the “Shako Odori,” right? It’s known for dancers jumping around like mantis shrimp, and according to one theory, it’s a Bon dance unique to Nishinomiya that has been passed down since the Edo period〜😳Amazing!
Of course, there will also be food and game stalls〜😄
Here’s a video of the Shako Odori↓
