Toimisaki himatsuri literally goes off!
Traditional, legend acted out with a backdrop of pacific ocean panorama deep green flora and the bluest of skies.
A slow build up of trance inducing circular dancing and rhythmic drumming leading up to the spectacle of young costumed men lobbing fire balls onto a 30 cm diameter nest atop a 30 meter pole and ending in a dynamic fireworks display from a frightfully close proximity.
Till the crescendo when the pole falls down to the ground.
A must see festival
