Claustrophobia would be a huge problem if you had to catch public transport during rush hour in Japan.

But you'd be surprised how much fun you can have on the trains during that time! Lots of stray hands and full-on groping. Probably the same would occur among the guys in the photos above, but I have never experienced it at the festivals.

I have also never participated in such large festivals but if I did, I would be hovering around the edges where I'd probably be trying my "hardest" to accidentally brush up against everyone.

It would be a sin to let such an opportunity to begging!
