One of the craziest festivals in Japan - Furukawa Matsuri

2 minutes of the Furukawa Matsuri, held in Furukawa, Hida, Japan in April.
The Furukawa Matsuri is made up of two main events: the exciting clashing of half-naked men and drums called the Okoshi Daiko, and the gorgeous Yatai float procession.
At the Okoshi Daiko, local men wearing traditional white wraps called Sarashi gather by the hundreds. The main drum, a giant on a raised platform, is followed by smaller drums called Tsukedaiko representing different town boroughs which are rammed into each other as part of the festivities. Being one of the two drummers that straddle the giant drum is the biggest honor as a citizen and fills others with envy.
