Now that Okinawa’s Covid situation is stable, the Naha Tug-of-War will be held on October 9 for the first time in three years! 😄 This traditional cultural event was originally an agricultural ceremony to pray for rain and a good rice harvest during the Ryukyu period 🌧🌾 The 200-meter-long rope weighs around 40 tons, and the side that pulls the rope 5 meters wins! Anyone can join in the fun, even tourists 😉🙌🏿🖐 | Visit Okinawa Japan
