Ishibiki Gebageba Bon Odori
石引ゲバゲバ盆踊り
August 1, 16:00–20:00
Not a traditional circle dance but a contemporary reinterpretation — the Ishibiki shopping street turns its small square into a free evening event with live bands and DJ sets alongside street stalls. It sits in the hills just above Kenrokuen Garden, an easy walk from the museum district.
