I live in Tokyo. Does anyone know where any O-bon festivals will be held nearby? And when? Arigato!

Hello. Obon is not really a festival in terms of parades, dancing in the street etc. Its a family time when people go back to their home town. This means that Tokyo is actually quite quiet (relatively speaking!)

Surely there must be a scheduled bonodori or two somewhere in Tokyo. Anyone know where and when?

I have danced and participated in many Obon odori and Odon celebrations in Hawai`i and last year in Japan. There are always local "matsuri"-type festivals where the odori takes place. I am not sure whether there are any in or around Tokyo for the August 13-15 dates. Last year I went to somewhere in Tokyo, but I was wondering whether that was during the July dates. So, are there any around in Tokyo in August? (I live in Tokyo)
