Today, Sensoji Temple in Asakusa held the Crying Baby Festival, or Nakizumo. It is a highly unique tradition where sumo wrestlers try to make babies cry. In Japanese culture, a strong cry is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good health and growth. It might look surprising at first, but it is all done with care, love, and centuries of tradition with plenty of proud parents watching nearby. Would you watch this event in person? Let us know below!#nakizumo #japanculture #visitjapan #asakusa #japantravel

The sakura is still blooming there and it just happens to be one of our favourite places to see the flowers in all of Japan. It is way less busy than in the big cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. You can visit stunning destinations that feel more like fantasy lands than a real place you can visit. Some of the places we recommend include Nagato Yumoto Onsen, Iwakuni Castle, and Kintaikyo Bridge. You also have to check out Kikko Park and Taineiji.#yamaguchi #japantravel #visitjapan #sakura #japantrip
