Yamakasa - Coming Soon

Discover one of Fukuoka's most anticipated Festivals, in which men are separated from women, their families, and are not aloud to have sex, or eat anything their wifes prepare especially cucumbers 2 weeks before the 'race'....that's right, THE RACE.

4:59am the race begins....

Crazy! Men in large G-strings (thongs) holding up massive floats and racing to the finish line while onlookers throw water to cool them down while shouting "Oisa! Oisa!" (Go! Go!)
