Naha Great Tug-of-War Festival opens in Okinawa

Original: 那覇大綱挽

The 56th Naha Tug-of-War Festival, one of Naha's three major festivals, has opened in Okinawa's capital. The event centres on a massive rope pulled by thousands of participants divided into east and west teams, a tradition dating back centuries and recognised by Guinness World Records for its enormous straw rope. Locals and tourists gather along Route 58 for the contest, with music and celebrations surrounding it.

Why now: The festival has just opened, drawing local media coverage and attention in Okinawa.
