Tokyo's Kanchu Misogi Festival Sees 80 Dive Into Ice Water For Good Health In Japan | India Tod

around 80 worshippers participated in an icy ritual at Tokyo's Teppozu Inari shrine, bathing in ice water to pray for good health during the traditional "Kanchu Misogi" festival. This year, marking the 70th anniversary of the bathing festival, saw both men in traditional loincloths and women in white robes engaging in this chilling act of devotion. The participants prepared with warm-up rituals, including 'torifune' rowing movements, to brace for the shock of cold water. This unique blend of spirituality and physical challenge not only highlights the cultural depth of Japanese traditions but also the communal desire for health and well-being. #kanchumisogi #tokyoshrine #icewaterritual #itwebvideos #indiatoday #icewaterbath #japan #tokyo Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
