I went to Japan's NAKED MAN Festival with my Japanese coworkers

What better way to bond with your Japanese coworkers than by going to see a bunch of half-naked men spinning on poles in the street 🤗

The Hida-Furukawa Matsuri was a lot of fun! Actually it is pretty common for men to be dressed like this at festivals in my experience...but the pole spinning isn't something I've ever heard of before 🤠

I really enjoyed my time at the festival and would definitely recommend it as a stop if it happens to align with your itinerary! It happens every year on April 19 and 20, so be sure to book your hotels wayyy in advance if you are interested as it is a pretty small town

As I included at the end of the video, there are often lots of smaller, local festivals in various towns around Japan, and I really encourage you to give those a try if you are interested and it works with your schedule! The challenge with this is that honestly it really is hard to find information about countryside festivals online, even in Japanese...

Let me know down below what you thought of the festival and if you've ever been to a Japanese festival before, how did it compare!?
