The YOSAKOI Soran Donan Festival is a high-energy dance event that blends the roots of Kochi Prefecture's 'Yosakoi Matsuri' with the traditional Hokkaido folk song 'Soran Bushi.' Various teams dressed in vibrant, colorful costumes perform energetic dances accompanied by the rhythmic sound of nariko (handheld percussion).
