Why You Should Visit

A Hawaiian music and hula event staged on the grand stairway of Kyoto Station Building, with around 140 hula groups performing over two days. Every dance is accompanied by a live Hawaiian band rather than recorded music. Because it takes place in a plaza inside the station, you can stop and watch between trains or while shopping, and the tiered stairway gives a clear view from above or below. A good fit for fans of Hawaiian music and hula, or anyone looking for a break at the station.
