►For the first time in three years, the Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival is back! On July 15th, the festival concluded with the biggest event, Oiyama.
During Oiyama, decorative 1-ton floats are raced around the city by thousands of men in traditional wear. The event officially begins at 4:59am, but an even earlier start is necessary if you want to catch all of the action.
Enjoy watching this lively event, it’s really something quite spectacular to see.

What software do you use to edit your videos?
Looks so epic in the rain☔
Thanks for getting up so early and braving the rain so we can see this festival and race. Wish I could have been there to see it!
Nice dry shots! The lens isn't wet lol
Do you only film videos when it is raining?
Really appreciate your videos. Great coverage of the festival.
