Pre-/Post-Convention Programs

Awa Odori Dancing Experience
As the saying goes, "If you raise your arms and move your feet, that’s Awa Odori dancing." The great appeal of Awa Odori dancing is that anybody can quickly become a dancer. After watching Awa Odori dancing, you can actually dance at the Awa Odori Kaikan.
Walking Pilgrimage Tours
Ohenro is a pilgrimage journey to 88 sacred temples in Shikoku, founded by Buddhist monk Kukai about 1,200 years ago. By experiencing this walking pilgrimage tour in Tokushima, the place of its origin, you will be able to sense the meaning of moving forward and the importance of deepening bonds.
