Chagu Chagu Umakko Horse Festival

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- The Chagu Chagu Umakko Horse Festival was cancelled in 2020 and in 2021, unfortunately. I was approached by a local TV station, Iwate Broadcasting Company, to appear on a TV show on June 12th, 2021. As part of the TV show I was able to go with a camera crew and speak with various people involved in the festival. I tried to use the opportunity to also share the festival with you! Of course it's not being held this year, but hopefully it will next be held on the 2nd Saturday in June in 2022.

I'll be on a live TV broadcast this Saturday, June 12th talking about the festival. It's a local Iwate channel, not nationwide in Japan, but still I'm excited and a bit nervous. I've never done live TV before.
I'd love to hear your feedback about what you thought about this and what you liked about the festival so I can share with people locally!
Ganbatte!
Wow! I lived in Kuzumaki for 3 years and this is my first time hearing about this! Makes me feel a little bad for eating so many of them....only a little. I like basashi too much lol. Do they still eat basashi there?
@@Crimsontears83 They do still eat it!
You'll be fantastic, Quinlan! Enjoy the experience!
I always find your videos entertaining and informative. The TV viewers will appreciate your humble but enthusiastic nature.
tell them that i think the chagu chagu umakko festival looks wonderful
It’s wonderful to see horses celebrated, honored and treated as family.
Horses are so magical and super intelligent. Beautiful tradition!
As a Horse Girl™ this is now at the top of my list of things to do when I visit Northern Japan.
What a wonderful tradition! More people who have horses as working animals should have these celebrations!
I love everything you do but Wow I loved this one I hope you are able to cover other festivals.
Hope they are able to start holding the festivals normally again soon! (Once it's safe of course!)
Beautiful horses. I love how that one horse was getting right up close to the camera just to observe and basically hang out. I'm always a fan of anything that celebrates animals. I do hope the horses get a treat at some point. I mean, it is a celebration for them after all and the humans are drinking sake so it's only fair.
So good to see the respect and gratitude that this festival shows the people have for their horses.👩🏻🦼🏴⭐️
What beautiful animals they are. Really warms my heart to see people loving them as family. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Yes you are right this does make me quite interested in visiting this part of Japan.
Thanks again for another great video Quinlan. 👍👍
I like that your videos aren't just fancy shots or B-roll (They look really good). I enjoy the stories you tell. The way you bring tradition and history into your videos is spectacular.
Have fun with the live TV Broadcast. I think you should wear a 'GoNorth Japan' shirt while doing it 😅.
Thanks so much, appreciate that!
Stunning shots of that parade through the rice fields
Those were some lovely friendly horses. I hope you gave them a pat/cuddle. Thanks for the great video.
I really really want to see this now! Those costumes for the horses are stunning!
Thank you Quinlan for this video! Japan has got plenty of interesting traditions and celebrations, but hardly anyone devotes time and effort to show them and to talk about them. I really appreacitae your effort and passion :)
Wow those horses are beautiful!
Nice! It would also be good to see Hachinohe's Enburi festival. Wrong time of the year right now though of course.
I loved to see how much effort that was put into making the costumes so bright and beautiful. I love that these kinds of local festivals continue and how they can bring a community together. Thank you for another wonderful insight of a side of Japan that is rarely seen.
This is wonderful! I'd love to see more of this kind of content mixed in with your regular hiking videos! :D
I'll definitely have more of this kind of stuff after the pandemic ends!
I love your videos! ^_^
Yay, thank you!
This is own of the reasons I selected North Japan on my JET application!
Hope they send you up here!
my son and I love watching your videos they give us so many ideas for places and things to see for the trip we are planning, thank you so much.
Added this to my list! And as it's in June (my birthday month) what better experience for an avid horse rider ☺️
Thank you Quinlan, I loved learning about this festival. I would like to see it someday.
I love horses. What a cool festival!
“Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag Quinlan away” Wonderful film 😃👍 thank you!
Quinlan always giving reasons to Go North!!!
Tip for future, bring lots of apples and carrots.
This is really well done. It seems like a pleasant life as a horse in Tohoku. Hopefully you can post a clip from your TV appearance.
I'll see what I can do, but TV channels are really possessive of their content and I don't want to risk a copyright strike... but maybe I can figure out a way...
Very interesting video! I participate in traditional Texas trail rides from the countryside to Houston where we wear very western dress and ride miles every day. The whole process lasts 7 days of camping and riding. It’s a lot of fun! I love that they do this in Japan too!
There’s a LOT of drinking happening in our trail rides, so his mention of sake was great!
The horses look so happy!
They really did seem like happy horses!
Sharing this with some of my horse riding friends. Those costumes are beautiful!
One more reason to visit Morioka, and Iwate in general! Gosh, the horses look lovely in the costumes. ❤️
I love horses! They're beautiful and sweet animals; they are so attuned to people's emotions. That's why here in the states they use them for therapy animals for the handicapped, in rehab programs where people need to heal, and in some prisons where prisoners can recover emotionally as well. Miniature horses can also be used as service animals in place of dogs.
It looks like a beautiful festival! I'd love to see it one day! Great job on the TV reporting!
Thanks!! And yeah- horses really are amazing!
What an amazing festival! Horses are incredibly strong, yet very kind and gentle animals. I has been a while for me , but riding on a horse is such a great feeling. Great video as always, Quinlan : )
This was so interesting! I love how you find unique ways of showcasing Northern Japan.
AWESOME! I've been around horses most of my life and I definitely have to go see this! Such a wonderful custom!
Wow, did you guys see the parade reflected in the field in the beginning? So cool.
HI Quinlan! It's so nice to see these people taking care and honouring the horses that do the "heavy" lifting for them.
This is lovely, and wow, talk about spring green grass!
Good luck on your TV appearance. I'm very sure that you'll be great. It's a large part of the reason I enjoy watching yr videos
Love frm nepal🇳🇵
wow, love watching this!
Your videos are always so thoughtful, respectful, and well presented that I’m sure you will be great on live TV 👍. Best of luck !
Stunning episode! Can't wait to see the rest of the matsuri. Thank you, Quinlan!
That was great!
Thank you for all these fascinating videos!
Another thing to add to my "must see" list. What a beautiful celebration :)
♥️
👍 loved this video. Is this on the same day or week every year?
Love it, really cool!
Wow that looks beautiful. I can’t wait to go to Japan once it opens again!
Those horses! What a lovely festival, maybe one day I’ll get the chance to see it.
nice one!!! really enjoyed learning about this festival! everything looked so wonderful! will have to try and time a trip up north to coincide with this.
Loved it! Horses are awesome.
Thank you for another really enjoyable video!
Good luck on your TV performance Saturday!
I have no tips for you, since I'm really camera shy. :)
じゃじゃじゃTV観ましたよ。
早くコロナがおさまって、これを観た外国の皆さんがチャグチャグ馬っこを観ていただければ良いですよね！
これからも素敵な動画を紹介して下さい♪僕らも勉強になります！
見てくれてありがとうございます！
👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this Quinlan. Very interesting to hear about the history of the areas relationship with horses. Would you recomend Morioka as a good place to ride horses when in Japan?
You can ride horses up in Hachimantai, about an hour north of Morioka. I think that would be better!
@@GoNorthJapan Amazing, thank you for your advice. I will do some research on the area ready for when we can finally travel to Japan again.
They were marching in front of my school.
While they were marching, manured,peed.
But they are animals .What can I say with those poor Horses?
IWATE Prefecture is the hometown of Shohei Ohtani.
Yes! I met him at a sushi restaurant once by chance in Hanamaki!
If Mt. Iwate does not make an appearance in Quinlan's video, is it even Quinlan's video ?!
Indeed!
3:13 "started keeping a horse", not "started buying horses". Not 買う "to buy" but 飼う "to keep (an animal)" :)
Thanks!
I wonder if they still eat basashi there?
Yeah- I don't quite understand that.. but they do still eat raw horse meat (basashi) here.
Did the Japanese use horses more often as plow animals than oxen?
Yes, definitely!
