Kagoshima’s Ohara Matsuri is one of Japan’s largest ‘street parades’ in which more than 20,000 traditionally clad dancers perform a variety of dances specific to the Kagoshima region.
The parade begins at 1:30 PM at the Tenmonkan area in the center of the city and lasts until late in the afternoon.
Because Kagoshima is located at the southern tip of Kyushu, the weather is still relatively warm in early November and the rainy season has passed so it is an ideal time for such a great outdoor event.
