Giant Snake Festival of Sekikawa is not a festival for those suffering from ophidiophobia or herpetophobia. The festival is based on a local legend of a woman who didn't listen to her husband (gasp!) about eating giant snake meat and ended up becoming a giant snake herself as a result. The straw snake is 82.8 meters/271 feet long and carried by 500 people.

Giant 36-meter Dragon Snake of straw, bamboo, and rope carried by 300 people to Ryujin Pond where a dragon was once said to have lived. There it is torn apart in the hopes it will bring rain for the crops. The festival is held once every 4 years.

Welcome to my Channel! Basically it's: travel, history, culture, music, oddity with an emphasis on Japan.
There are videos on a variety of subjects from sumo, geisha, music in Nashville, 1066 shenanigans, ninja, samurai, Civil War re-enactments, festivals, wrestling puppies...
My earliest vids are unedited videos from my digital photo-camera video feature so they're really short and low quality. I uploaded them here for storage purposes and for posting on websites. Since then I've gone through several generations of handheld video cameras and have edited many videos. I try to give the most accurate and in-depth knowledge that I can to entertain and inform.
As for myself, I currently live and work in Tokyo. I'm an avid fan of Japanese history and festivals. I've run with the bulls of Pamplona, hiked the Inca Trail, scaled Mt. Fuji, slept in locker in Munich while drunk at Oktoberfest, rode the Yamanote Halloween Train, been mugged in Mexico City, climbed the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
