“My Odori Geta” Making Experience Event! @ Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Gujo, where the Gujo Odori festival is held

On Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 29, Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Gujo will hold an event for guests staying at the hotel, in collaboration with Gujo Mokuri, where you can make your own dancing geta sandals and burn pen decoration. 

Gujo City in Gifu Prefecture is the host of the “Gujo Odori,” Japan's longest running bon odori dance, which was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2022. At this event, you can customize your own dancing geta made by Gujo Mokuri, a brand that prides itself on being “Made in Gujo,” by attaching your favorite design of nose strap or decorating it with a burned pen. 

Create your own dancing geta and participate in the Gujo Odori to discover the unique charm of the region.
