Nachi Fire Festival



Lonely Planet Author, Ray Bartlett experiences one of Japan's most spiritual ceremonies, the Nachi Fire festival. Dating back almost 1700 years this cleansing ritual is a symbol of burning away the sins and mistakes of the past year. For even an agnostic like Ray, this spiritual festival left him feeling humbled, introspective and in awe.
