Akita Trip 01

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 2 August 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I just returned from a trip to a place in Northern Japan called Akita. It was a really fun and exciting trip where I competed in the national sailing championship, enjoyed relaxing in hot springs, ate some really good food and got some nice photo's.
This is the first one and it's of NAMAHAGE like a demon that is supposed to scare away bad luck and evil spirits from children by making them cry ( a little sadistic ). They were playing TAIKO drums a traditional Japanese drum. They were the best players I've seen to this day and I recommend you to visit their free concert if you ever go to OGA AKITA.
