Approximately 30,000 participants and around 2 million spectators gather for Hokkaido's early summer tradition, the "YOSAKOI Soran Festival," which will be held again this year!
In June, when the streets of Sapporo are painted with fresh greenery. Various locations in the city, centered around the main street of Odori Park in Sapporo, transform into stages!

The YOSAKOI Soran Festival originated from Kochi Prefecture's "Yosakoi Festival" and was born in 1992 by mixing the "Naruko" from Yosakoi Festival with Hokkaido's folk song "Soran Bushi." Dancers dressed in colorful costumes, holding Naruko, move energetically to the melody of Soran Bushi—. This overflowing energy engulfs the city of Sapporo in festive heat.

Moreover, delicious foods from all over the country will gather at the YOSAKOI Soran Festival! Local specialties from inside and outside of Hokkaido will be assembled here. Don't miss this opportunity!
