Скачать или смотреть Matsuri Omikoshi Festival: Portable Shrine Parade and Traditional Chanting (Machida, Tokyo, Japan)

Experience the roar of the Machida Matsuri! This video captures the intense energy, vibrant spirit, and deep tradition of the Omikoshi parade in Machida City, Tokyo.

The Omikoshi (or Mikoshi) is a sacred, portable Shinto shrine that is carried through the neighbourhood streets. It is believed to house the spirit of the shrine's deity, bringing blessings and warding off bad luck from the community.

Watch as hundreds of participants, dressed in traditional happi coats (hanten), heave the heavy shrine, chanting the rhythmic "Washoi! Washoi!" to uplift the deity and encourage their fellow bearers. This is raw, traditional Japanese culture at its best, complete with powerful taiko drumming and lively festival music.

If you're planning a trip to Japan or just love Japanese culture, this Tokyo festival is a must-see event!
