2022? I should and that a must to visit Japan!!!
Thanks for sharing tho
+Syahril Huda It's a unique experience you'll likely never forget. Hai.
WHAT THE HECK! That's incredible you got to see this. My wife and I are going next time haha
+Nomadic Gear Missed it in 2010 so made sure to see it this time. We highly recommend it. Hai.
Though this does look like an amazing tradition, I must wonder if anyone was seriously harmed in this? Thank you for sharing this with us ♥
+Just Breathe It is an amazing spectacle but also an extremely dangerous one. Serious injuries and deaths do unfortunately occur. Hai
What do the different colors stand for?
seems fun
This reminds me of the sand worm riding in "Dune"...
I had the same thought looking at those dudes sitting astride of the log, holding on to the rope reminded of fremen on top of the worm :D
I love old traditions like this deeply rooted into local culture and religion. I hope it endures 1200 years more.
@@tar_am I hope it'll endures the pandemic... I miss Japan!
Looks like they're in diff colors/teams--- is there a winner somehow at the end?
+Bangkok Fatty There are different groups but no competition. From what we gathered, the coloured tops were more to differentiate the various roles. For example log riders, log pullers, crowd controllers, flag bearers etc. Hai.
Every 6 years?? Geez. I wasn't expecting that. Japanese festivals are so much fun...this one seems a little dangerous though lol.
+Travel Lushes Japanese festivals are indeed fun, both to see and participate in but we were more than happy to just observe this one ;) Hai.
So much culture.
Are you able to participate or is that a definite no no ...? Nice vid btw
That was interesting! Looks a bit scary though. For example the log might roll over you when you did fall on the ground. Does it happen, I mean people get hurt or injured? Anyway loved the last part of the video most :) Cheers!
+Riaz Uddin Certainly is one of the more death defying festivals we've ever attended and injuries are a given. In fact, we did see someone stretchered off to the large "Disaster Rescue" bus parked at the base of the hill. The medics didn't look particularly rushed so we guess it wasn't particularly serious. Hai.
Human tradition must live as long as the universe is still alive.
Especially the interesting ones. Thanks for watching Girom😊 Hai.
Log riding eh? They're way more adventurous than I.
+Tony Fera We'd say they'd be more adventurous than most, including us :) Hai.
This is insane!!
+CuriousCalifornians Would you give it a go? Hai :)
Maybee...... lol
What the heck? That looks dangerous!
+JoanJetsetter It's considered Japan's most dangerous festival and after seeing it for ourselves, we'd wholeheartedly agree. Hai.
Estos men estan loco
Espero que no haga muerte debajo del tronco
Yikes so dangerous
+lovelao76 It's crazy isn't it?! Hai.
