The 37th Otsuka Awa Odori was held on Aug. 26, 2009 (Wed.) in the middle of the week from about 5 pm to 9 pm. They paraded on the main road in front of the south side of JR Otsuka Station on the Yamanote Line in Tokyo.Aug 31, 2009

So it was not a good situation for taking pictures. The dance route was short, maybe only 300 meters. They danced on only one road. That's why it was quite crowded. Aug 31, 2009
|
|
Both sides of the road were almost totally covered with vinyl mats by people reserving a spot to watch the dance. The festival seemed to be mainly for the local folks, not for tourists from outside who could not get close to the roadside. Aug 31, 2009
