Hokkai Heso Matsuri aka the Belly Button Festival is a fun-filled event that originated in the city of Furano around 1969. It started off as a simple dance festival, but later became a humorous and creative event with an aim to bring unity through laughter. Are you wondering what it has to do with belly buttons?

nicknamed as the belly button of the island.

The bellies of the participants wearing costumes are painted creatively with funny faces, thus enacting a humorous display of human gathering.

The main theme of the festival is not the painted belly march but the ‘heso odori (へそ踊り)’ or ‘belly dance’ that makes it particularly fun. Participants dance in competitions to win prizes by performing unique and funny dances together. The fact that thousands of people attended this
