27 大塚駅 

Otsuka Station is not an extensive station but rather amid the month of August more than 1.5 million individuals come to see the Awa Odori Dance Festival. 

Otsuka Station (大塚: 大 – substantial 塚 – hill) was initially opened in 1903. It is best known for its Awa Odori move celebration, the second biggest in Tokyo after the one in 高円寺 . At the 阿波踊り move celebrations groups of artists from various 近所 cooperate to choreograph and play out a furious move to the sound and musicality of drums and gongs. Every group additionally has a one of a kind, splendidly shaded コスチューム. 

The groups go up against each other for a wide range of 賞品. The 祭り endures throughout the day and into the night and when day turns night, the road before 大塚駅 is adorned and lit by 灯籠 and the moving gets more out of control. 大塚阿波踊り is hung on the twelfth and fifteenth of ８月 consistently and pulls in upward of 1.5 million observers. 

The ensembles worn by members alone merit observing.
