It's a traditional Japanese summer dance with a supernatural twist. This three-day festival sees participants transform into "yokai" - traditional Japanese spirits such as the river-dwelling kappa, the vengeful yurei ghost, or the long-nosed tengu demon. It's a colorful affair that celebrates the mythical connection between the Japanese summer and the world of the supernatural.
