The Coolest Festival in Japan! Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Festival and Parade

[@garryferrington811]

Such a happy little girl! You're a very fortunate man. This whole event is beautiful.

[@KASUMINaturals]

Thank you so much! I am very fortunate indeed 🙏

[@howardsmithson5918]

Cool just isn’t enough to describe this. The rhythmic beating of the music and especially the drums can be felt in my very soul. Great just that great.

[@martamaia8957]

Ho visto ONDEKOSA, in Italia.É indescrivibile la forza di questi tamburi...

Wow im so happy this found its way to my feed what an awesome celebration!

[@KASUMINaturals]

Us too!

[@PlaceOfAbundance-cv8kp]

Hubby and I were in Tokyo in November 2023 for 5/days. We are both looking forward to going back again soon. We love Japan, the people, the temples, shrines, among many, many things!💋❤️

[@KASUMINaturals]

Tokyo is awesome, but the rest of Japan has SOOO much more to offer that is so different from the city. Tokyo is very unique in that way, while the rest of Japan could have you spending many months traveling around to experience all of the many wonderful and diverse places the country and it's various regions has to offer. Do come back!

[@joek9588]

I see the crowd but can not see any trash it's amazing . It's a spectacular festival with wonderful people . I love Japan, just it's too far.

[@abhayarout3916]

Good to see.i love Japan and culture.Thanks Jay Jagannath.

[@arkas6797]

All so beautiful, so clean, so much tradition given in a short time by the common people of Japan. I wish I could attend.

[@helentart1980]

So amazing that we can see this. Can you imagine decades ago where we wouldn’t see this and now we take it for granted. Amazing

[@ladygardener_3171]

What an Amazing, Wonderful Tribute‼️ I Love ❤️ Japan 🇯🇵 ‼️🥰

[@KASUMINaturals]

Thank you for your kind words ☺

[@mariellouise1]

A wonderful video. Thanks for capturing all the various performances.

[@kevinlane7555]

Seeing so many young people honoring their cultural heritage is amazing

[@KASUMINaturals]

Exactly what struck me about it, you have kids, teenagers, 20’s, 30’s, all ages!

[@skwalka6372]

Some people,like the Japanese, have plenty of reasons to be proud of their culture, others do not. Not all nation are equal in this regard.

[@rossanabachiorri833]

Is wonderfull. I respect ❤❤

[@colinaitken5090]

Young Westerners are never proud of their culture ,the only thing they worship is TikTok 😂

[@skwalka6372]

@lenamonroe4130 you are right, we are witnessing the pinnacle of human civilization being demolished by backward cultures. It is a great tragedy.

[@unebonnevie]

I LOVE Japan. So many festivals in the summer! Fireworks in Japan are amazing! And it's in July-August! The synchronization among the drummers are incredible!

[@LogicalVelocity]

Incredible. I can imagine the goosebumps witnessing this live.

[@abcdefghijkl603]

This video is just amazing! The Hyakumangoku party in Kanazawa will definitely be an event to get on my bucket list. The tradition, music and colors of the participants' clothes are simply stunning. I am sure that this party is an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Japan.

[@KASUMINaturals]

There are SO many wonderful festivals in Japan, it's hard to say which is "the Best", but definitely Kanazawa (and the Hyakumangoku Festival) is more than worth a visit! Easily reachable from Tokyo (Shinkansen) and also from Osaka - so many other festivals to visit though as well! Enjoy your travels :)

[@abcdefghijkl603]

@@KASUMINaturals Thank you :D

[@roboftherock]

I started to watch for the drum group's performance - and I'm so glad I watched to the end. Well done as the happiest group.

Another reason I love Japan and it’s beautiful people. All ages enjoying the festivities.

[@emmanuelkawooya9673]

Similar to Buganda culture of Uganda where drumming is a major event.

[@KC-xe9hs]

It's wonderful! It amazes me that so many people/dancers are wearing same kimono/uniform - it must cost a lot. Japan is so rich, culture wise as well as financially!!

[@KASUMINaturals]

Rich cultural history, yes, but not necessarily so rich financially these days (nothing like 20-30 years ago!). Lack of wage growth for well over the past decade, along with a sharp increase in inflation over the past year, and a very weak Yen-to-USD (lowest in about the past 30 years right now), has made things very difficult for a LOT of people in Japan now, unfortunately.

[@omittapir5986]

Amazing these people. Just brilliant!

[@juancoronado144]

I ADMIRE THE JAPANESE PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE I REMEMBER THE SAMURAI WARRIORS THIS GREAT CULTURE LIVES ON

[@terribolding8162]

[@watersprite333]

Oh wow! This was great, thank you so much for sharing; feel good vibes for sure, colourful and bright, enjoyed watching. Namaste.

[@mkjackson55]

Such happy people, celebrating with the children, this is what a happy life looks like.

[@KASUMINaturals]

Indeed! One of the especially fun things about the evening parade is that you literally have people of ALL ages taking part; young and old - and having a lot of fun together!

[@jeanclaudecailhol3618]

[@KASUMINaturals]

Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@fifthavenue8505]

Mesmerizing. I deeply love the sounds of drumming. I found this quote, I don't know if it's applicable but it does express a sense of what is felt maybe too poetically for me, but still. “Each beat of the drum has to go deep. It has to arouse in the audience a boundless feeling, stretching back through time. What I am pursuing is a sound that embodies Nature, one that is both awe-inspiring yet serene” - Eitetsu Hayashi

[@bluespruce679]

That's really beautiful....thank you for posting. I'm going to write it down to share later. I love percussion, and good music....I'm also an old dancer....I love dancing more than almost anything! So, thank you for such a lovely quote. God bless you! 💜🕊💜

[@VagabondJohnBowler]

Thank you for sharing your family day at the parade and your explanations of the various cultural groups. I had attended a couple of Koto concerts in L.A. so I really enjoyed the drumming. Thanks again!

[@KASUMINaturals]

Awesome! Really glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, the drums were a big hit!

[@EiriUesugiKun]

I've been in Japan every year since 2012. Mostly around autumn due to Suzuka F1 race beeing in autumn. I've seen Awa Odori. I have not seen these drums. I need to see these drums.

[@KASUMINaturals]

The Awa Dori gets a lot of tourists and media attention, and it is indeed very impressive! However, there are other Matsuri is many places and prefectures across Japan that are just as special and/or unique. This is very much the case in Ishikawa, and indeed the whole Hokuriku region. Definitely come and visit! 👍🏻

[@BigBadBill2323]

Amazing! Drums seem to be found in so many cultures around the world. The TaiKo drums were actually used to determine village sizes. The boundaries were decided by how far the drum could be heard… the bigger the drum, and better the drummer, the more land would be allotted to the village.

[@lornaburgess9762]

Wow I didn't know that,Thank You for your knowledge

[@BigBadBill2323]

@@lornaburgess9762 I saw the Kodo Drummers of Sado when they were in Toronto. I think some of this info came from program notes!

[@KASUMINaturals]

Wow, have never heard this, thanks for the info! Can you recommend any books/sources in which I could read about this further? Thanks from Japan!

[@Enderboss434gameing]

@@KASUMINaturals I have to admit, that I don’t know of anything specific. Perhaps a general history of drumming will refer to this. Again, I think I got the info from program notes from a concert of the Kodo Drummers.

My father was in the Air Force and married my Japanese mother in the late 50s only to return once more in the early 70s because of mom and that he LOVED Japan. And I fell in love with Japan too. Three years on Kyushu and the last year near Tokyo. The damn festivals were amazing. The temples were amazing. It was amazing to look at centuries old Japan via the Emperor’s palace and then do an about face and see one of the most modern cities in the world (at the time). I’ll never forget Japan. Thanks to dad I’m a world traveler. Lived in sub tropics (Kyushu Japan), the desert (Laughlin AFB near Del Rio Texas) and the arctic (Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage Alaska). I was lucky being an armed forces brat. Even survived the great Alaskan earthquake

[@KASUMINaturals]

Cool! Some great experiences there, global travel is my television, haha! Keeps me entertained 😉Have yet to get to Kyushu, but will get there for sure eventually!
