Try your hand at a 400 year-old tradition in Kakunodate as you spin a large ball of fire around yourself, hoping for continuing health and prosperity. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as dangerous as it seems. If you like photo ops, bring a tripod, set your timer and get some fantastic shots of the sacred fireballs light up the night with a snowy backdrop. You’ll go home with shots your friends will envy and you can tell them about your very own swinging balls of fire. π
