Written by

Okayama Prefecture is located in the Chuo of Western Japan, and is known as the "Land of Sunshine" due to its warm climate and little rain throughout the year. It is conveniently located halfway between famous tourist spots such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, and is also the gateway to Shikoku via the Great Seto Bridge. Okayama is also known as the "Fruit Kingdom," and the fruits that grow in the warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea and sunshine are of the highest quality in terms of sweetness, aroma, and flavor. You can enjoy seasonal fruits such as white peaches, Muscat grapes, and Pione grapes! Okayama is also home to world-famous tourist spots such as Okayama Castle, Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's three most famous gardens, and Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, which are renowned for their history, culture, and art!

What is "Uraja"?

Uraja is a festival held by the people of Okayama Prefecture based on the "Ura legend," the origin of the demons that are passed down in Okayama Prefecture.

Other dancers, wearing oni makeup called "Ura Kesho", perform passionate dances in the city streets to the accompaniment of original music.

Participants wanted! Beginners welcome! Participants will receive a commemorative gift.

We are looking for dance groups for people who want to have the best experience on their trip to Okayama. A lecture will be given by staff at the venue on the day, so even those who are not confident in their dancing can participate with peace of mind!
