- This year we went to the annual Kanazawa Hyakumangoku parade! We had a ball. The Hyakumangoku Festival [百万石祭] in Kanazawa is Ishikawa's biggest festival of the year, and takes place over three days with a number of events - this being the main event of the weekend and takes place on a Saturday. We got to join the Seiryo University [星稜大学] Dance Group in the late afternoon/evening parade - how cool was that?! #foreignerinjapan , #japan , #japaneseculture , #ishikawa , #japanlife , #japantravel , #japanfestival , #星陵大学 , #hyakumangoku , #kanazawa , #japanesedrums , #japanesedrum

I would have never in a million years have guessed, but japanese parades are way better than american ones! nice!
Such a happy little girl! You're a very fortunate man. This whole event is beautiful.
Thank you so much! I am very fortunate indeed 🙏
Cool just isn’t enough to describe this. The rhythmic beating of the music and especially the drums can be felt in my very soul. Great just that great.
nice all time of live
Ho visto ONDEKOSA, in Italia.É indescrivibile la forza di questi tamburi...
Nothing better than deep resonating drums.They move people.
This is why I am here,go hard young ones.
I'm a native American I love it
🙏Amazing! Thank you for sharing!🙏
Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it 😃
Seeing so many young people honoring their cultural heritage is amazing
Exactly what struck me about it, you have kids, teenagers, 20’s, 30’s, all ages!
Some people,like the Japanese, have plenty of reasons to be proud of their culture, others do not. Not all nation are equal in this regard.
Is wonderfull. I respect ❤❤
Young Westerners are never proud of their culture ,the only thing they worship is TikTok 😂
@@lenamonroe4130 you are right, we are witnessing the pinnacle of human civilization being demolished by backward cultures. It is a great tragedy.
Amazing these people. Just brilliant!
Good to see.i love Japan and culture.Thanks Jay Jagannath.
vielen dank für diese schöne präsentantsion
this should be always happen all over the world " happiness" especially among young people, it's so fun to watch children happy and enjoying themselves🥰
Incredible. I can imagine the goosebumps witnessing this live.
I ADMIRE THE JAPANESE PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE I REMEMBER THE SAMURAI WARRIORS THIS GREAT CULTURE LIVES ON
So amazing that we can see this. Can you imagine decades ago where we wouldn’t see this and now we take it for granted. Amazing
Such happy people, celebrating with the children, this is what a happy life looks like.
Indeed! One of the especially fun things about the evening parade is that you literally have people of ALL ages taking part; young and old - and having a lot of fun together!
I LOVE Japan. So many festivals in the summer! Fireworks in Japan are amazing! And it's in July-August! The synchronization among the drummers are incredible!
What an Amazing, Wonderful Tribute‼️
I Love ❤️ Japan 🇯🇵 ‼️🥰
Thank you for your kind words ☺
Another reason I love Japan and it’s beautiful people. All ages enjoying the festivities.
Similar to Buganda culture of Uganda where drumming is a major event.
Nobody there to watch the parade because everybody was in it 🤣
Absolutely beautiful festival!!!
Even us!
@@KASUMINaturals
Yes!! Lol
Looks like it was lots of fun.
Wish I was there!
Thank you for your message ❤️
Impressive and beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!
Mesmerizing. I deeply love the sounds of drumming. I found this quote, I don't know if it's applicable but it does express a sense of what is felt maybe too poetically for me, but still. “Each beat of the drum has to go deep. It has to arouse in the audience a boundless feeling, stretching back through time. What I am pursuing is a sound that embodies Nature, one that is both awe-inspiring yet serene” - Eitetsu Hayashi
That's really beautiful....thank you for posting. I'm going to write it down to share later.
I love percussion, and good music....I'm also an old dancer....I love dancing more than almost anything! So, thank you for such a lovely quote. God bless you! 💜🕊💜
It's wonderful! It amazes me that so many people/dancers are wearing same kimono/uniform - it must cost a lot. Japan is so rich, culture wise as well as financially!!
Rich cultural history, yes, but not necessarily so rich financially these days (nothing like 20-30 years ago!). Lack of wage growth for well over the past decade, along with a sharp increase in inflation over the past year, and a very weak Yen-to-USD (lowest in about the past 30 years right now), has made things very difficult for a LOT of people in Japan now, unfortunately.
All so beautiful, so clean, so much tradition given in a short time by the common people of Japan. I wish I could attend.
Hubby and I were in Tokyo in November 2023 for 5/days. We are both looking forward to going back again soon. We love Japan, the people, the temples, shrines, among many, many things!💋❤️
Tokyo is awesome, but the rest of Japan has SOOO much more to offer that is so different from the city. Tokyo is very unique in that way, while the rest of Japan could have you spending many months traveling around to experience all of the many wonderful and diverse places the country and it's various regions has to offer. Do come back!
Thank you so much for bringing a part of the world I have never seen!! 15:07 And learning different cultures too! Very cool that the “horo” kept arrows from hitting their target. And no matter what country you come from, horses are always last… LOL! from Ohio 🇺🇸
Thank You!
This video is just amazing! The Hyakumangoku party in Kanazawa will definitely be an event to get on my bucket list. The tradition, music and colors of the participants' clothes are simply stunning. I am sure that this party is an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Japan.
There are SO many wonderful festivals in Japan, it's hard to say which is "the Best", but definitely Kanazawa (and the Hyakumangoku Festival) is more than worth a visit! Easily reachable from Tokyo (Shinkansen) and also from Osaka - so many other festivals to visit though as well! Enjoy your travels :)
@@KASUMINaturals Thank you :D
So wonderful! I got goosebumps watching this. Awesome! I would love to se this in person!
the same song played by the incas, mayans, aztecs, cherokees, zulus, so we come from the same boat🤗
A wonderful video. Thanks for capturing all the various performances.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of your heritage ! I love the history of other countries.
I started to watch for the drum group's performance - and I'm so glad I watched to the end. Well done as the happiest group.
Great! Thanks for watching to the end, haha 😃👍
This is one of the BEST festivals I’ve seen. The spirit and energy transfer through the screen. Powerful.
This festival is wonderful!! If you have a chance, please come and visit Kanazawa in June😘

Thank You!
Amazing culture!
I visit Kanazawa during the spring cherry blossom 2023 . This is one of the best prefecture in japan , the Kenrokuen garden , the alpine road and the Shinagawa village… . I❤japan . Amazing rich culture country and amazing peoples .
Sensational... here in my city (Cascavel/Paraná/Brazil) there is a Japanese colony and an excellent taiko group!
Wow, of all places! I know there is a large Japanese immigrant population in Brazil (hence the creation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!), so that is great to hear. I traveled to Brazil in 2008 for Carnival in Rio, wanted to get to Iguacu Falls (Foz de Iguacu) but didn't make it - instead I went to Salvador, what a party!!
Love this! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Thank you for sharing your family day at the parade and your explanations of the various cultural groups. I had attended a couple of Koto concerts in L.A. so I really enjoyed the drumming. Thanks again!
Awesome! Really glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, the drums were a big hit!
Watching from London. Thank you for sharing. That was beautiful to watch and what wonderful memories you’re making with your little girl ❤️🥰❤️

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho em divulgar conhecimentos maravilhosos Cultura linda e abençoada japonesa 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Muito Obrigado!
The Drums were awesome, the costumes magnificent. Love traditions of Japan.
Thank you for such great, personfal cinematography ... I felt like I was right there enjoying the moment. So beautiful ... but that little Kasumi stole the show: The most adorble Princess of the Day!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed watching the video - and Kasumi!
Now these are the kinds of war drums I love. Big, burly, and full of bass.
Attended a similar festival in Misawa-shi a few years back. An awesome experience.
Wow, I have never seen this before! It looks great!
My father was in the Air Force and married my Japanese mother in the late 50s only to return once more in the early 70s because of mom and that he LOVED Japan. And I fell in love with Japan too. Three years on Kyushu and the last year near Tokyo. The damn festivals were amazing. The temples were amazing. It was amazing to look at centuries old Japan via the Emperor’s palace and then do an about face and see one of the most modern cities in the world (at the time). I’ll never forget Japan. Thanks to dad I’m a world traveler. Lived in sub tropics (Kyushu Japan), the desert (Laughlin AFB near Del Rio Texas) and the arctic (Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage Alaska). I was lucky being an armed forces brat. Even survived the great Alaskan earthquake
Cool! Some great experiences there, global travel is my television, haha! Keeps me entertained 😉Have yet to get to Kyushu, but will get there for sure eventually!
Thank you it is beautifull ❤❤
I love to know about other countries Coulter heritage, it's so interesting thanks for this clip!

I grew up going to a Japanese Methodist church that always celebrated Japanese heritage. My favorite memories were of the Taiko druming. I hope to travel to Japan some day to see this festival and meet my relatives!
Magnifique. Extraordinaire. 💚👏👏👏
Merci pour cette merveilleuse vidéo !
This vid proves that visiting Japan went a couple of places up upon my bucket list to vist this beautiful country and it’s beautiful people! Thanks for sharing this beautiful video with me 🙏👍❤❤
Perfect
🤩😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
Looks like so much fun!
magnifique ! Sauvegarder son héritage, sa culture, c'est continuer à vivre et à perpétuer ce que nos Anciens nous ont légué.
en France c'est le grand remplacement couscous Kebab Dürüm
c est triste 🤔🤔
@@altekameraden6279 très juste, la France poubelle est en train de mourir
I already know why I spend my entire vacation in Japan every year. Great people, incredibly delicious food, the whole culture is terrific. If I could, I would immediately emigrate to Germany and immigrate to Japan. 🙂
Let me guess, your responsibilities to the band (Pearl Jam) get in the way, perhaps? 😆
