Some 50,000 visitors thronged the 49th Bon Odori Festival, which was held for the first time in Bandar Sunway, Selangor.
“In Malaysia, the Bon Odori Festival started in 1977 and has grown into an annual occasion which is one of the largest Japanese cultural events here, and possibly one of the largest Bon Odori festivals outside Japan,” said Sunway Malls chief executive officer HC Chan at a press conference.
