If you like to dance, then head over to Tokushima for the annual “Awa Odori” Festival!

Over 1.2 Million performers and spectators will be in Tokushima, Japan over the next few days to take part in one of Japan’s largest dance festivals!

The dancers are known as “ren”, and they parade through the streets dancing to traditional music. Checkout all of the fun here:
