Information about the 93rd Azuma Odori Dance Festival where you can experience the beauty of Japanese culture and stylishness of Edo<\/h3>\n

The Azuma Odori Dance Festival is an event where you can enjoy Shimbashi geisha dance and ryotei<\/i> cuisine. This is the 93rd year of the festival that began in 1925 and is a traditional sight of the start of summer in Tokyo.
\nFeaturing glamorous dancing by stylish geisha, Japan\u2019s top ryotei<\/i> cuisine from Shinkiraku, Kanetanaka, Tokyo Kitcho, and others, and delicious sake,

\nthis four-day-only event at the Shimbashi Enbujo Theater is held in the style of an enormous ryotei<\/i> restaurant.
\nIn the second floor lobby, you can join a tea ceremony by geisha or enjoy Dom Perignon with Japanese-style appetizers and get original Azuma Odori souvenirs.
\nThe event offers a place of Japanese culture where visitors can enjoy interacting with geisha and one another, providing a chance to reconsider Japanese culture and find one\u2019s identity as a Japanese person.
\nWe hope that people from around the world will also come to enjoy this once in a year festival of one of the top geisha quarters of Japan that ranks on par with the Kyoto entertainment quarters.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
