Please join our parade as Haneto (Dancer) or Volunteer Staff!!

Our Nebuta will work as an “Anchor” of this year’s Nisei Week Parade. Haneto dancers will go dance marching through Little Tokyo with Ohayashi (Live Music) and big Nebuta Float. Let’s enjoy your summer with Nebuta!

After registration, you will wear Haneto costume, and Haneto experts will instruct you how to dance. Even 2007, most of participants are first time to dance, but all Haneto danced very well. Finally, mayor of Aomori city said
“I want to bring you all back to Aomori, Japan!!” Wow!
Don’t worry. Once participated, we will guarantee wonderful night memory with Nebuta!

There are three kinds of Haneto registration.

If you join as Haneto, please pay registration fee by CASH at the registration (Zensyuji) on the parade day.
(*1) If you participate on 2007 parade and still have the costume of 2007, please bring with you and you can participate by only $5 registration fee.
(*2) Registration Fee will be charged at registration on the parade day (sorry, CASH only).

Thank you all who registered with us.
