I’m sure Nagasaki Kunchi is the best festival in Japan,because of its togetherness between performer and audience.
If the Kunchi team performs well,the audience will call “Yoiyaaaa”(it means Good man!).When that call reaches to the performer,he will perform more eagerly.
On the other hand,the Kunchi team is leaving the stage,the audience will call “Mottekoooi Mottekoi”(it means we want more).When the call reaches to the performer,he will be coming back to the stage and perform again until he will be exhausted.
Even if you don’t have a ticket,you don’t have to worry about it.By the ”Niwasakimawari”(it means parade),you can enjoy the Kunchi for free.”Niwasakimawari” is the parade in downtown by the Kunchi team.Nagasaki Station Kamome Plaza,Central Park,China Town and other places ,the Kunchi team performs kunchi for free.
When you arrive at Nagasaki,go to Hamanomachi Arcade.There is the Kunchi information booth.Then take a map and timetable for “Niwasakimawari”.
