"The Naked Man Festival" in Japan, also known as "Hadaka Matsuri" or "Naked Festival," is a longstanding event with a history of approximately 1250 years. Held in Tokyo, Japan, this unique and lively celebration attracts thousands of participants and spectators.

The main event features around 10,000 men clad only in traditional loincloths, competing to grab the sacred and lucky stick called "shingi," thrown by a priest. The festival's origins lie in the belief that the fortunate man who catches the shingi will receive good luck for the entire year.

Recently, the festival made headlines for the first time by opening its doors to women. This change has sparked excitement and controversy, as some traditionalists believe the festival should remain exclusive to men.

In addition to the main activities, the festival includes a series of other events, such as traditional Japanese food, music, and dance performances. It provides a great opportunity to immerse oneself in Japanese culture and witness a truly unique and unforgettable event.

PS: It is reported that this year's Naked Man Festival had more than 40 female participants.
