Around this time of year on Okinawa, the sound of Eisa drums can be heard in Okinawan neighborhoods starting in the early evening going late into the night. Many of them practice months in advance....Even now as I type this, I can hear the drums....
If you haven't done so already, take advantage of this year's Obon season and make sure you check out this famous Okinawan tradition. The Eisa dance is truly an unique experience....
Just a tip: Obon is slated to be a bit later this year--with the peak expected to take place between August 8 to August 16th.
Enjoy the beat of the drum and make sure you take part in the culture of this wonderful island....

I remember the drums at night - and the families gathering on the beach each weekend. Good memories.
