    Japan’s annual Hiwatari or fire-walking festival is held on the second Sunday of March at a temple on Mount Takao, west of the capital Tokyo on March 13, 2022. The ceremony at Yakuo-in Yuki-ji involves practitioners of Japan’s Shugendo religion walking through embers to pray for world peace, protection from misfortune and good health. Shugendo blends elements of Shinto, Buddhist and Taoist practices.

    i did this when i was 14, but it was a 2 meter fire walk. i was dumb enough to wash my burning feet with water and made the burning worse and got blisters which lasted for 2 weeks. it was a tradition for new students in the martial arts of silat.
