As the record number of the Covid-19 patients were being treated at home due to the lack of hospital beds, Okinawa just had Kyubon (lunar calendar-based Bon Festival) this past weekend.
However, as a number of the covid cases stayed high, the governor strongly discouraged people from having family gatherings. Also, local youth groups had to cancel Eisa dancing, a part of the Okinawan Bon Festival tradition, again this year.
The following video was filmed in Okinawa City, a mecca of Eisa, on the last day of Kyubon in 2018.
