Strange Festival (湯かけ祭り Yukakematsuri)

Yugawara Onsen had a Strange Festival yesterday.
We visited Kawarayu Onsen for the festival.
 
This is opening ceremony for the festival.
 
The player go to a shrine for playing before Yukake Matsuri.
Yukake means pouring hot spring on each one.
Matsuri means a Festival  in English.
Now starting, they have a tub of hot spring each one.
The festival is a heritage festival which continue for more 400 years.
