This Saturday I finally got a chance to see the Hadaka festival in Kakuda. The last few years it was during the week and I always just missed it. Hadaka by the way means “naked”. Now they aren’t actually naked, but they are wearing basically just underwear. Keep in mind that the temperature was around zero degrees! Plus they had to be out in the cold for a couple hours. It’s kinda crazy!! Check out some photos below.

I also had a chance to go, but I went to one in Sendai. the guys in Kakuda are more into the thongs than the guys up here were.
I guess country folk don’t care about appearances (or the cold) as much as city folk.
Wow.. They sure have some crazy festivals in Japan…
Some of them are even weirder than this.
