The Yosakoi Festival at night is super lively and full of energy! The whole evening feels like a joyful party, with traditional dances, lanterns, and tons of food stalls. It's so satisfying to stroll around and snack as you go. When everyone starts dancing together, you can't help but want to join in! It feels really local and not too touristy—I highly recommend experiencing it!
