Locals and tourists alike enjoy this annual event in mid-August. Hokkai Bon Odori translates to Hokkai Bon Dance, a traditional Japanese festival. It involves dance and drum performances to welcome ancestral spirits back home. This Buddhist observance honours ancestors who return to visit their families during Obon, an annual event. It&#8217;s a significant occasion where families gather to pay respects to the deceased. Different regions have their own music and dance styles and people typically form a circle around the yagura, a raised wooden structure for musicians. The dance is simple and slow, making it easy to learn. Anyone can participate by following the person in front. Partake in the Hokkai Bon Odori this August and immerse yourself in this time-honoured tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Plan A Trip to Niseko Now!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The warm and welcoming spirit of Hokkaido\u2019s summer festivals creates a sense of unity and togetherness, embracing everyone who visits and inviting them to become a part of the community.
