The Dancing Okami Lady Kaga (レディ加賀)
The Dancing Okami
Lady Kaga (レディ加賀)
Traditional Japanese hospitality meets modern dance
When her childhood dreams of becoming a tap dancer are dashed, Yuka decides to return to her hometown of Kaga and follow her mother’s footsteps of becoming an okami, or the traditional manager of a Japanese inn. However, Yuka’s new career path proves to be more challenging than it seems: her clumsiness makes the various training exercises difficult, and with Kaga Onsen facing a financial crisis, the pressure’s on to attract visitors to the area. In a last-ditch effort to save the town, Yuka devises a plan to choreograph a dance and perform with her fellow budding okami at the local charity event. With no tap dancing experience amongst the group and time running out, can the dancing okami put on a show to remember?
Inspired by Kaga’s real-life tourism campaign, The Dancing Okami was brought to life with the cooperation of the town’s local community and tourism association. Directed by Toshiro Saiga, this heartwarming musical comedy chronicles the protagonist’s inspiring journey to success, with the beautiful scenery of the Kaga Onsen region as its stage(© 2025 Japanese Film Festival)
