Kanto festival is one of the most famous summer festivals of the Tohoku region.

It is held in Akita city every year in August. 

The festival will be in the evening of festival period. 

A number of people will gather to watch the stunning performance from the local people, 

who show the ability of carrying “Kanto” or a long pole with many lanterns hanging on it. 

The pole can have length up to 12 meter and weight up to 50 kilogram, 

and the performer will carry them on their forehead or lower back! Even it looks like the pole will collapse or trip over any time, 

The performer will observe the wind by looking at the paper called Gohei that is attached to the top of the pole and adjust their move according to it to balance the pole on their body. 

The parade also includes traditional Japanese bands that make the atmosphere become more fun and cheerful.
