The 2027 schedule had not been published when checked; the expected window follows the same pattern, from Saturday 10 July to Saturday 4 September 2027, with all-night Tetsuya Odori expected on 13 to 16 August. Anyone can join the dancing circle; ten dances are performed to live shamisen, kokyu and taiko.
