"Sacred pillars Festival"
In this festival, located in Suwa Taisha, Nagano - 1000s of locals participate in moving massive tree trunks from the surrounding mountains to the shrines of Suwa. These trees become the new great pillars, or Onbashira, in the corners of each Suwa shrine. This event is very crazy and the atmosphere is very intense in a good way.
The festival has the reputation of being the most dangerous in Japan due to the number of people regularly injured or killed while riding the logs.
Considering how dangerous this event is, everyone still had a great time, there was music, food, drink and bon fire.
