The Miyako Odori was started in 1872 as a way for Kyoto to assert its cultural importance after the capital of Japan was moved to Tokyo. It is held throughout the month of April as a celebration of springtime and the cherry blossoms.
About Me
- Inge
- Wellington, New Zealand
- For the past decade I have wandered the globe a bit, leaving my homecountry Belgium in 1999 to first study in Australia and the US and to later end up in beautiful New Zealand because of a chance meeting with a lovely Kiwi guy, now my husband. In July 2005 we packed our bags once more to experience the JET-life in Fukuoka, Japan. Those two years flew by and after several months in Europe & China we returned to good old Aotearoa. After nearly three years of living a semi-settled life in the capital Wellington, I'm now off on a six-month journey through East Africa and the Middle East. No idea what to expect but stay tuned for news from the road...

Inge, your pictures are beautiful! I`m envious! (^-^) Looks like you had a seat near the hanamichi...those are the best! I was near the center in the 2nd row I think...I wish I had a super zoom lens! But I lucked out with my seats so I can`t complain.
I hope you enjoyed the dance!
