What is Bon Dance?

Bon Dance is a traditional Japanese cultural practice believed to have originated about 1,000 years ago and has been passed down across regions throughout Japan.

It originally began as a way to honor ancestors and express gratitude, and each region has its own unique music and dance style.

Typically, people dance in a circle with simple, walking-style movements, allowing anyone to join naturally.

Bon Dance is not a performance to merely watch—it is a culture meant to be shared and enjoyed together.

That is the spirit of Bon Dance.
