| "Nishimonai" is a small town located in the northern foot of
Mt. Chokai. It becomes crowded only in the period of Bon season during
the midsummer with tourists from all over the country who come to watch
Bon Dancing. The characteristic of this dance is the mysterious and strangely
erotic "Hikosa Zukin" and the ancestral "Hanui" costume
which are very beautiful. Please enjoy the sophisticated dance as much
as you like. This style of Bon Dancing represents the Tohoku Region and
is famous nationwide. |
