Every August in Kochi, Japan there is a festival called the Yosakoi. Local Kochi teams from all over the city and prefecture dance down a main avenue in Kochi City using wooden hand clappers to maintain the beat of their dance.

There is no set way dance, so teams can create and dance to whatever music and style that they want. Teams are formed from local businesses, pubs, etc. The atmosphere is very electric and full of festival booths to enjoy local foods and items. Teams are judged and the winners get a prize.

There is also a Yosakoi Museum in the downtown Kochi City area to visit anytime of the year. However, if you are in Kochi in early August, I recommend checking out this festival. It will be a lot of fun!!
