    The Sendai Michinoku Yosakoi Festival was established in 1998 as a successor to the Kochi Yosakoi Festival. Yosakoi, which is held in over 250 cities, towns and villages across the country, is a general term for festivals that follow the rules of respecting tradition and creativity and is run by the citizens, incorporating local folk songs and dancing with Naruko drums. Today, it is held in cities, towns and villages all over Japan and participants from all over the country can not only show off their folk songs and regional characteristics, but also feel a sense of unity with faraway friends who share the same ideals.
