Hey everyone, welcome to this new 2min Japan video!

Today I'm in Nagano Prefecture  in Matsumoto City to go see

The Onbashira Matsuri is a traditional Japanese Festival that happens every 6 years

During that festival, 8 tree logs are carried down from the mountain down to the Suwa Shrine

and sometimes the logs have to be dropped  down from the top of big hills

Young men prove their bravery by riding  the logs while it’s sliding down hills

it is said to be the deadliest festival in Japan

because every time, 2 or 3 people die, crushed  by the 10 ton tree log that slides down the mountain

and headed to Chino Station very early in the morning

when buying tickets for this festival we received

this really cool Onbashira Festival Happi

I have to admit though seeing this huge log falling down was really really scary

Especially when this group kinda fucked it up  at the starting point

Check out the next festival that will be held in
