It’s time to mark your calendars because the schedule for the Gujo Dance Festival, one of Gifu’s must-do summer activities, has officially been announced.
The dance is a tradition that’s over 400 years old (considered one of Japan’s three great bon dances) and held across 30 different nights over a period of three months. The dances are easy to learn, making them very beginner friendly. Everyone is invited to join in the dancing; just hop right in the dance circle and follow the movements of the people around you!
