【Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa】 2024 Okinawa Traditional Eisa Festival & Performance Information

Eisa is a traditional dance held during the lunar Bon Festival. Every year in Okinawa, local youths parade through the village dancing eisa to pray for the health, safety, and prosperity of their families and to make offerings to the spirits of their ancestors. There are various forms of eisa depending on the region, and they can be enjoyed at local area festivals. This year, we are happy to see activities begin on all islands after having been suspended due to Corona. We hope that the information on  this page will be useful for you to enjoy the activities of different Youth Associations.
