Nada Kenka Matsuri

October 15th

I went to only one day of the Nada Kenka Matsuri (Fighting Festival) this year. On the day that I went the portable shrines were being carried down the mountain and then they jostled and fought with each other. It is a crazy festival and nearly every year someone gets hurt or killed as the shrines are huge and are being hit against one another! Luckily we survived and enjoyed the festival!
