Exclusive Tsukimi No Owara Event in Toyama

What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Unlike the famous “Owara Kaze no Bon” in September—which draws massive crowds and takes place in the summer heat—a Club Tourism exclusive event Tsukimi no Owara offers a more relaxed and personal experience. It feels as if the entire town of Yatsuo has been reserved just for you. Held in the historic town of Etchu-Yatsuo, Tsukimi no Owara invites you to enjoy a tranquil evening of traditional Japanese dance under the moonlight. Dancers in flowing kimono and straw hats perform graceful, slow movements to live music played on the shamisen (a three-stringed lute) and kokyu (a bowed instrument with a soft, haunting tone). You’ll watch the performance from a designated standing area with clear views and the rare opportunity to take flash photography, which is usually prohibited at similar events. Even in light rain, the performance continues on a covered stage. You’ll also visit a greeting area where dancers pose for photos, allowing you to capture the elegance of the festival up close.
