【いよいよ明日追い山笠！】　「流舁き」でボルテージは最高潮　博多祇園山笠がフィナーレへ

With the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival's climax, the "Oiyama-yama," just a day away, the float bearers are participating in the "Nagare-kaki" procession. Nagare-kaki is an event where each district carries their float through their own area. This year, the Nakasu district, the first to carry their float, and other floats raced through the streets with great energy. It is believed that the movement of the floats purifies the area and wards off disease, and the men carry their floats with these wishes in mind. Even in the scorching heat where sweat pours down even just standing, the sight of the brave men advancing vigorously, splashed with water and shouting "Oisa!", captivated spectators along the route. The Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival, which began on July 1st, will finally reach its grand finale tomorrow. The highly anticipated "Oiyama-yama," which concludes the festival, will begin tomorrow at 4:59 AM.
