Kite Battles Of Japan!
Kites in Japan go back millennia, and in this video we tour the largest kite museum in Japan: the Shirone Kite Museum outside Niigata. Get up close to some of the largest kites in the world in this exceptionally well done museum. There are hundreds of kites of all shapes and sizes and we learn the history of the Shirone Kite Battles that date back to the middle Edo Period. This is the number one thing to see and do in Niigata
absolutely a must see. We are John and Josephine founders of Uncharted Japan. With 163 years of family history in Japan, we take you to the places most tourists never see. Visit us online and send us an email with your questions or ideas.
