About Sakuyosa

This year’s theme, 京を彩れサクラビト

Kyoto Sakura Yosakoi, also known as “Sakuyosa”, is a yosakoi festival created by students to revitalize Kyoto.
Since its birth in 2005, the festival has grown in scale year by year to become one of the largest Yosakoi festivals in the Kansai region.
The festival is held in the central area of Kyoto City, including the area of Nijo Castle and Heian Shrine, and the popular event to dance with everyone called “One Hour Dance” brings color to the city in the springtime.
