The Akita Kanto festival is a summer festival held in August every year. The heroes of this festival put a long bamboo pole with many paper lanterns like a straw rice bag on a palm, the waist, or the brow, and dance there. The longest bamboo pole is 12 m. 

It is a festival which prays for a bumper crop. The long bamboo pole with many paper lanterns is visible to a very big ear of rice. If night comes, 230 big ears of rice who shine gracefully will illuminate the town in Akita. It is supremely elegant and beautiful. 

If you participate in this Japanese tradition festival, the diseases whom you have will also leave instantly.
