To tell the truth, we could not participate in the tug of war because of Craft Balloon festival held on the same night, so enjoyed tranquility in advance of fight in front of ropes enshrined in the center of town.
KARIWANO is a small town. The residence are divided into 2 groups at this event and fight. Tourist participant is free but no guarantee of accident.
At the next time challenging the exciting match, I would like to make a question, “How do you ensure equality on volume of participants between 2 groups?”
