Had the pleasure of participating in the famous Dontaku Festival with my classmates at NILS.

Dontaku comes from a Dutch word, "Zondag" which also means "Sunday", or in this case "Holiday". On this day, people from all over Japan gather to watch as residents fill the streets clapping rice paddles and playing shamisen. All in all, it's a good day.

Music is by Kevin MacLeod, from the infamous incompetech.com.

  • 『どんたく5/3・4』と『港祭り5/5』は別物です。

    福岡市役所が勝手にくっ付けたものです。。

    確かにここに映っているのは『博多どんたく港祭り』という摩訶不­思議なパレードですね。

    『どんたく』は見せモンヤなかとばい。あたきゃ好かんばい、こげ­なんと。

  • まー日本にきてもらわんでもえっ。

  • Does "Dontaku" sounds like "Don't talk" ?

    It's from the Dutch word "Zontag" (Sunday)...

  • This festival originates from Holland?

    I'm from Holland, but I don't have any clue on what kind of holiday they copied this from!? Nevertheless I love your vids!
