In Awaodori Dance, dancers form a line and take steps forward, so the venue must be long and straight. In Tokyo Koenji Awaodori Festival, all the dancing venues are set up along public streets and shopping promenades.

Get the Feel of Awaodori at Koenji Station!: The train departure bell changes to the melody of Awaodori dance from August 1 until the festival ends. You may be tempted to dance to the bell even before the festival!
