Today I'm in Nagano Prefecture in Matsumoto City to go see

今天我來到了長野縣的松本市參觀

Japan's most dangerous...

日本最危險的...

FESTIVAL!!!

節慶!

The Onbashira Matsuri is a traditional Japanese Festival that happens every 6 years

御柱祭為六年一度的傳統日本節日

During that festival, 8 tree logs are carried down from the mountain down to the Suwa Shrine

在這個節日，八根樹幹會從山上被搬運到諏訪神社

and sometimes the logs have to be dropped down from the top of big hills

有時候這些樹幹必須從山丘上運下來

Young men prove their bravery by riding the logs while it’s sliding down hills

年輕男人們會坐上樹幹和它一起滑下山丘以證明他們的勇氣

it is said to be the deadliest festival in Japan

御柱祭被認為是日本最致命的節日

because every time, 2 or 3 people die, crushed by the 10 ton tree log that slides down the mountain

每次舉辦時都會有兩人或三人死亡，原因是被下滑中且重達10頓的樹幹壓到

Yeah, that's not very cool

聽起來不是很吸引人

However being a very rare festival

但因為御柱祭是非常少舉辦的節日

Since it happens every 6 years

每六年才舉辦一次

I wanted to check it out by myself

所以我想要親自看看

and headed to Chino Station very early in the morning

我今天一大早就跑來茅野站

買票的時候我拿到了

這件超酷的御柱祭法被(一種傳統和服)

Sexy, right??

性感吧?

I have to admit though seeing this huge log falling down was really really scary

我必須承認看到這根樹幹滑下來的時候真的相當驚人

and you can feel the tension everywhere

你可以感受到現場緊繃的氣氛

Especially when this group kinda fucked it up at the starting point

特別是在剛開始就差點就搞砸的時候

I hope everybody's OK though

希望沒人受傷

But if you're interested in this matsuri
