The spirit of Awa Odori in Tokushima, Japan. At the end of the festival days, over a thousand dancers flood the main street for the grand finale known as Sō Odori the “Grand Awa Odori”. In this breathtaking moment, dancers and spectators become one. Remarkably, the female dancers never lower their raised arms as they move along the street, a testament to their strength and passion. It’s the climax of the celebration. Awave of energy, tradition, and unity. Don’t miss it!
