The Ohara Hadaka Matsuri of Chiba Prefecture takes place today (Tuesday 9/23) and continues on to tomorrow. In this 160 year old festival, women and men carrying portable shrines charge into the ocean. The trick is that the waves are still pretty big from the aftereffects of Typhoon #15.

It's a regional festival--one of hundreds in the country. I just heard about it. I live in California, so it's a bit of distance to travel just to go skinny-dipping.
