Awa Odori folk dancing, native to the Awa (Tokushima) Region, is the biggest of its kind in Japan. The entire city is enlivened with singing and dancing. Day and night, groups of people in fancy attire dance to the accompaniment of merry music of Shamisen (three-stringed Japanese musical instruments), Japanese drums and flutes. The climax will be from 6 pm to 10:30 pm every day. http://www.awanavi.jp/category/0000222.html
