Chichibu Yomatsuri, the best night violence you'll find

Postby Taro Toporific » Fri Nov 26, 2004 5:50 pm

This is one hell of a wild festival and I've fought the crowds in the cold for free sake several times. Fireworks, free sake, semi-mock battles between float crews....Wo0T!:thumbs:

Nov 26 / Japan Times
Chichibu Yomatsuri Night Festival, one of Japan's three biggest festivals featuring festival floats, will run Dec. 1-6 in the city of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. Each float weighs between 12 and 20 tons and is pulled by several hundred people. The festival highlight is on Dec. 3, when six floats will go through the streets between 9 a.m. to midnight and a large firework display will be held 8:30 p.m.-10 p.m.http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?fl20041126a1.htm

I will PAY someone to take a few-dozen high-rez photos of this for me (bring a digital & snap away!). I would do it myself but
A: I have no clue how to get there
B: Even if I did, I have to work until 10:30pm!

A: It's a longish train ride, 1.5 hours to Northwest Saitama.
B: Anybody who wants to take pictures will need long underwear, nerves of steel, 2-dan black belt, and one meter ladder.
(I'm too old to partake in late nght street brawls for more than six hours at temps below 0C.)
