This is the departure ceremony of the winter strange festival "Kaketori" in Traditional Japanese straw raincoat Yama Hot Spring in Yamagata Prefecture. Parade through the town wearing chrysanthemums, men and women with their upper bodies bare, dancing and praying for a disease-free life, showered with cold water from the houses. What you can see in the background is Kaminoyama Castle
