Of the many things to see and do here in my adopted home of Kyoto, the Miyako Odori ranks high up on the list as a must-see event. I went to the 138th presentation of the dance today and as always, I wasn’t disappointed. The annual spring dance runs the full month of April with 4 performances daily. For an extra 500 yen, you can get the “Chaseki” which I highly recommend. The dance tells a story amidst the background of the four seasons. I did manage to take a few pictures.
