Join in on the Gujo Odori Dance Festival for a unique cultural experience and create unforgettable memories during your travels to Japan!

Immerse yourself in this rich tradition by taking a dance lesson at the Gujo Hachiman Old Government Memorial Hall or at the Hakurankan. As evening approaches, change into traditional festival wear, a yukata and geta sandals! You are welcome to join in wearing any clothes you like, but for the best experience, we definitely recommend picking up a pair of geta sandals! Their distinctive sound truly brings the dance to life!

2026 Gujo Dance Festival Period: July 11th – September 5th (All-night dance August 13th-16th)

Times and venues vary each day! Please check the official schedule below for specific details:
