🌸 Experience the Spirit of Japanese Culture! As part of our Cultural Experience Day, Takohachi will present a vibrant live performance from 11:00 to 11:30, showcasing a diverse selection of traditional and contemporary Japanese music. Following the performance, we invite everyone to join in a joyful Bon Odori dance session—an iconic summer tradition rooted in community and celebration.

Our team will guide you through two accessible dances:

• Portland Bon Uta: our original song honoring Portland’s multicultural charm

• Hokkai Bon Uta: a classic Bon Odori from Hokkaido, Japan

No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!

But, if you want to study Portland Bon Uta, you can learn in 10 mins from this tutorial video.
