Just a heads up, the Soh-Odori (Group Finale) is exclusive to the paid stages. 🐰Heard that the 200,000 yen ticket gets you a comfy sofa seat, some insights, and a meal made from local ingredients. 🐰Due to the typhoon's impact, the Awaodori on the next day, August 15th, has been fully canceled.
Amazing! I could listen all day. It's like the heart beat of Japan. Fast at times, slow at other times. After finding your channel, I've been watching all your videos. We'll see how long it takes me!
Wow, this was a great watch. Nice camera work. The festival was spectacular. I'm impressed by the narrow staging area accommodating all those performers. Very nice👍
Thank you for this video. Amazing mix of culture and tradition. Impressed by their willingness to continue even in that downpour...it was like "the show must go on!" I will try to see it in person next year.
Спасибо за это прекрасное зрелище! Очень волнительно, а в живую должно быть ещё круче! Танцоры потрясающие, вышли даже в такую погоду! Теперь у меня есть новая мечта - попасть в Японию на Аватадори)
Absolutely 🪭 fantastic! We from UK 🇬🇧 this is so very unique and really enjoyed this performance and dancing. We have booked a vacation next year to Japan and are very excited!!! Thank you for your great videos 🙏
Awa Odori is Japan's most famous summer festival, attracting more than a million spectators each year. People in Tokushima practice all year long for this festival. This year, the festival was unfortunately hit by a typhoon.
I was lucky enough to live in Tokushima for 2 years and attended the festival both summers. Very different experiences with sweltering clear weather the first year and to=ential rains the second. Although everyone was soaked to the bones, there was no dampening of spirits. Although one must buy tickets to watch the professional teams, there is plenty to watch h on the streets, and bystanders are encouraged to join in. For months before the actual festival, practice can be heard every evening
Wow. Amazing 👏 👏👏👏👏👏 love the dancer's ❤❤❤❤ especially loved the ladies in pink, how do they balance themselves on those shoe's is just amazing 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏 beautiful festival
When I was very young (5) my grandparents took me to dance festivals. Dressed up as the dancers and danced. It was fun, but I really wanted the snacks. Takoyaki was a favorite. Thank you enjoyed.
This is absolutely stunning. Bless you for braving the rain and those cheerful women dancing in the torrential downpour. Lifting your camera during the finale to capture the image of 1000 dancers was very appreciated. The commentary with cultural notes, you have simply outdone yourself. I do not know if the captions are the work of Mrs or Mr Time to Travel but they are superb and it's so nice to have a context to help understand. But for all this praise, there's one thing missing: why are Mrs and Mr Time to Travel not in the celebrity dance ren? 😊
Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful festival. I hope one day I will have a chance to see it myself. It's on my list or a future trip to Japan in Summer.
That was pretty cool, never heard of it before, but glad I found this video and saw this wonderful tradition, glad to see cultures treasuring and celebrating their heritage.
2:34 en Argentina ví varias veces un grupo que actúa en Matsuris y tiene el mismo nombre y vestimenta. No sé si son los mismos pero me encantan!! Siempre bailan con una sonrisa e invitan a todos a participar!!😍😍
@user-up2vz9ik3w🤨 It's filtered and safe. It's also very below the amount China dumps from it's several nuclear plants and ALSO unlike China, it actually follows global standards and regulations. This is so unrelated to this beautiful video. Are you Chinese? 🙄
My dad danced in a medical team long time ago. He went medical school in Tokishima now he lives there again. We lived in Osaka before that for many years, where danjiri festival was famous. I wish i could visit then more often. Currently living in the U.S....
It looks so fun! I suppose Japan is a little more subdued in crowd participation at such things, but i wonder if some Ren encourage watchers to chant with them? I can't help smiling as I watch. 😊
I’m not sure but I think they do….. sorry if I am wrong. Weather condition is not good this year. There’s so many Dance Matsuri during the OBON ( the most important family events of the year. )
Yes, there are groups that invite participants to dance along! ☺️ You can even borrow costumes or get taught the dance steps. This Awa Dance in Tokushima is among the more prestigious festivals in Japan, so there are many attendees who prefer to just watch. However, for more casual Bon dance festivals, anyone is welcome to join and dance. Thank you🥰🥰
Wonderful to see this - in spite of the rain! After completing the Shikoku henro pilgrimage this Spring, I spent a few days in Tokushima and visited the Awaodori Museum and saw Awaodori dancers in the park (on another rainy day!)
Lindo,incrível! Estão todos de parabéns! Me fez lembrar do carnaval aqui no Brasil, quando nas cidades menores quando têm muitas danças de pequenos grupos! Gratidão por compartilhar!
Many years ago, the women in one ren started dancing with their hands high above and on tip toes, and some people (men? Haha😂), found it appealing, so now all the groups dance like this😂😅
I passed through Tokushima once in the off season(back when we rode mastodons) and seeing this festival is on my bucket list. It looks like a ton of fun. Don't they have a saying about how joining the dance is better than watching? Truth.
Thank you for your comment! It's great to hear that seeing the festival is on your bucket list. Yes, there's a saying in Japan: 'Odoru aho ni miru aho; onaji aho nara odoranya son son,' which means 'Those who dance are fools, and those who watch are fools; if both are fools, you might as well dance.'😆

A YATTO SA YATTO SA !!
I love Japan; the history, the culture, the festivals, the music, the food.

Incredible! Like this heavy rain, both performers and audiences are dancing and watching without caring the rain. Salute to you all.
Thanks for braving the inclement weather to share this with the world. Yatto-sa! Yatto yatto!
This was wonderful! Thank you!❤
Japan has some of the best displays of culture in the world, I think.
I started watching Awaodori videos about a year ago. Thank you for your CC explanation. The costumes and smiles are beautiful!
What a rich tableau of joy, happiness and celebration. Thank you for taking us along to see more fascinating aspects of your culture 😊🙏🏿
What a wonderful festival. It celebrates their culture and it's a finest experience to watch and see 😊
Thank you for enjoying it with us!☺️
我看你离变异也不远了
Thank you for this video. Amazing mix of culture and tradition. Impressed by their willingness to continue even in that downpour...it was like "the show must go on!" I will try to see it in person next year.
I can imagine if you practice hard all year, you don't take NO for an answer! RESPECT
Thanks so much for the images. Utterly beautiful! And i love a rainy day!
Excellent participation by all, a lot of energy and smiling faces😊
مهرجان جميل ومبهج، يعجبني تفاني الأشخاص وجهدهم الكبير الذي بذلوه لإنجاح هذا الإحتفال
Bravo 🙌! Great explanations and descriptions of the different groups. Thank you for sharing.
Suuuuugoooooi
I heared about this awaodori. Thank you for giving the thrill of virtually seeing it ^^
A phenomenal display of dance and music. It resembles ballet but served in a folk version. Amazing.
I've watched a lot of Awaodori dance festival videos, and I'm still impressed.
beautiful and fun dancing! put a smile on my face to see people having fun. thank you for sharing! ありがとう!
So great!!!! Thanks for film this video

How cool! I like how the performers walking by were waving to the camera at the end 😂

The festival was so beautiful with the dance ❤
Would be better without the influencer dance, though.
Thank you for watching🥰
@@its_time_to_travel You're welcome!

Amazing!! You can see Mr. Miyagi from KARATE KID at 22:45
Espectacular el festival Matsuri 2023...Gracias desde Buenos Aires.☺
일본 전통음악 운율을 들으면 왠지 슬프면서도 활기차고 아련한 느낌이 복합적으로 느껴지는 것같아요. 각국의 문화라는 것은 어느 나르를 불문하고 너무 소중하게 지켜야 할 무형의 보물인 것이 틀림 없습니다.
Agora sim entendi o significado desse festival. Assisti a vários vídeos mas sem entender. Obrigado por compartilhar. Saudações São Paulo - Brasil.
You guys really know how to party! That’s a lot of fun!
Keep smiling and dancing in the rain, must be refreshing in the summer heat!
素晴らしい👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wow they really good combining the color for the clothes, all looks beautiful

Thank you for this experience that I would not have had if not for You Tube and, in particular, the It's Time to Travel.
얏토사! 얏토! 얏토! 흥미로운 문화 입니다.
Спасибо что порадовали нас.
wow performing even in the pouring rain! poor souls. Thanks you to all the performers and for sharing their hard work and talents.
Such wonderful and ancient dances! With grace and reverence for their ancestors!
ANA: Hold my beer. 9:03
The festival is fun
Wonderful to see this - in spite of the rain! After completing the Shikoku henro pilgrimage this Spring, I spent a few days in Tokushima and visited the Awaodori Museum and saw Awaodori dancers in the park (on another rainy day!)
Even in pouring rain there are so many smiles. :)
absolutely love it..
How I wish to be greeted once I step off the plane at Narita Airport 🤗
Their performance are so unique and beautiful. Good from a tourist in Malaysia.
OMG!! Thanks for this. One of the ladies in Gojahei this year is a member of Sakurazaka46 (Japanese idol group).
I was born on Dec. 5, 1941, two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor so for me there are two Japans. I prefer this one. Make dance not war.
Lovely dance ❤ Have a beautiful weekend 😘
Thank you for watching🥰 You too🫶🏻
WOW this so fun 🤩
Thank you as always😍
@@its_time_to_travel Keep going 👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, respect to the performers AND the audience for performing and staying to watch them in the rain. In Australia it would have been cancelled. 🤦♀️
Absolutely amaaaaazing 👏
Lindo,incrível! Estão todos de parabéns! Me fez lembrar do carnaval aqui no Brasil, quando nas cidades menores quando têm muitas danças de pequenos grupos! Gratidão por compartilhar!
So amazing! Beautiful
日本文化は魅力的ですよね😮
Can you imagine how uncomfortable it must be to dance wearing geta on your toes?
Many years ago, the women in one ren started dancing with their hands high above and on tip toes, and some people (men? Haha😂), found it appealing, so now all the groups dance like this😂😅
내성발톱 생길거같고 발목이 아플거같아 흑흑

It feels a bit odd saying this. But I was so happy while watching this video that I started crying out of no where! I loved the video.
Thank you
Never thought I could see a traditional airplane dance :)
I’m glad you chose that thumbnail❤
Always great 🤩🥰🤩🤩🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Thank you☺️💘
Gracias por compartir está excelente los subtítulos en español muy entendibles y explicación concisa excelente
，spectacular! really enjoyed this cultural video,bring bacck my memories 28 years ago during the youth program in 1995 at Tokushima..
재밌게 봤습니다 일본의 어떤 마츠리 보다 재밌게 느껴지고 교토 타치바나 마칭밴드 공연도 보고싶었는데 이제는 도쿠시마 아와오도리 공연이 더 보고 싶네요 ㅎㅎ
노재팬 핵오염수나 울부짖읍시다...문재인이 울고 있어요...당신은 애국자.............
I actually laughed out loud at the ANA ren. Somehow funny that corporations would get their own procession, but it's tasteful
nice, thx for video ^_^
Soo cool , I want to go someday !
Great content. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you as always😚🫶🏻
матч состоится при любой погоде.)))
this is so cool, wish i was one of the audience there! also, more festival-related videos pls!
That's amazing
Thank you🥇💓
que hermosa festival el Awadori tan dinamico y bello, disgno de ir a visitar
I see people of ALL ages involved in the festival. That to me, is a really good measure of a GREAT society. It kinda amazing when you think about it.
Me encanta con lluvia todo por amor a la tierra que les vio nacer revalorando su identidad y buenas costumbres.
Gracias por darnos la oportunidad de viajar, con ustedes, y conocer una gran cultura, es muy gratificante y sensacional. Saludos 😁🙂👍
언제 한번 기회가 된다면 직접 가서 보고싶네요 ~
노재팬 핵오염수나 울부짖읍시다...문재인이 울고 있어요...당신은 애국자.............
일본에 갈 이유도 가고싶은 마음도 없었는데....
가보고 싶은 마음이 생겨버렸네...
도쿠시마라....
2026년쯤 뵈요.
Les festivals de yosakoi aussi sont très bien
Thanks for sharing.
