The Hakata Gion Yamakasa (博多祇園山笠) is one of the most interesting festivals in Japan. It is held every year during the first half of July and climaxes with a spectacular time trial race in the early morning hours of July 15. In the race, seven neighborhoods of Fukuoka's Hakata district compete in pushing beautifully decorated festival floats along a five kilometer long course through the city. The festival features two different types of floats:
The larger kazariyama floats stand over ten meters tall and weight over two tons. In the past they used to be raced through the streets, however, with the introduction of power lines in the Meiji Period, this became problematic, and today they only serve as decorative floats. 14 of them stand spread out across the city from July 1 to 14, including two at Hakata Station and Canal City Hakata.
For the race, smaller sized kakiyama floats, about five meters tall and one ton heavy, are used today. There are seven of them, one for each of the neighborhoods participating in the race. The floats do not have wheels and are dragged through the streets, while water is spread in front of the float in order to reduce friction between the float and the road surface (and cool down the participants).
From July 10 to 14, the seven teams hold several practice runs and parades in preparation for the main race. A good English festival booklet is available with detailed maps and time schedules for these events which are interesting to watch. On July 15 just after 1am, all teams line up behind the start line, which is located in front of Kushida Shrine, the festival's host shrine.
On July 15 at 4:59am, just before sunrise, the first team starts into the race, followed by the other teams in five minute intervals. Despite the early time of the day, thousands of spectators line the five kilometer long course, which includes several tight turns and long stretches along both narrow lanes and broad streets. It takes each team roughly 30 minutes of intense effort to complete the course.
There is ample of space to see the race along its long course, except around some of the more spectacular sections, e.g. the start area, where people show up hours in advance to reserve good viewing spots. Paid seating is available in the small court yard of Kushida Shrine, where each team has to push its float around a pole, but high competition makes these seats virtually impossible to get.
How to get there
The festival takes place in the Hakata district of Fukuoka. Kushida Shrine is located a five minute walk from Canal City Hakata or Gion Subway Station, or a 15-20 minute walk from Hakata Station.

Hakata Dontaku Festival, Fukuoka in 4K - 博多どんたく - Japan As It Truly Is
The Hakata Dontaku is a massive annual festival in Fukuoka. Here is a glimpse of what over 2 million spectators come to see.
Hakata Dontaku takes place every May 3-4 during the peak holiday season of Golden Week. Its modern incarnation goes back to 1962, but its origins go back around 840 years. There are events held all across the city, but the climax is a grand parade comprised of tens of thousands of participants, with dancing, costumes, revelry, and a mix of old and new. The term Dontaku actually comes from Dutch - Zondag, meaning Sunday or in this case a holiday. The Hakata Dontaku is one of a couple of massive Japanese festivals; the other is Yamakasa held every July.
While thankfully this wasn't shot during the worst possible weather - pouring rain - it was for the next worst, which is strong gusty winds, and despite having the best dead cat available and trying to clean up the sound in post, there are a few areas with some bad noise - so my apologies.

Japan's MOST EXCITING Festival!: The Hakata Gion Yamakasa Float Race!
It's summertime in Japan and that means it's FESTIVAL SEASON! For this festival, we woke up at 3 am and left before 4 to see an amazing race that starts at 4:59 am! Over a million spectators came to watch across the entire Hakata/Gion area of Fukuoka.
Each amazing float weighs over one ton and represents a different district in Hakata. Teams ran with the float, but only 30 men could carry it at one time. The teamwork we witnessed was amazing as different men had to switch out to support each other, as well as, the float. In the video, I go over their different roles. :)
