Went to a tug of war this weekend. It's an annual event here in Japan. This rope is in the guiness book of world records. The thing weighs about 7 tons. Tens of thousands of people show up for this event. It was pretty neat. Afterwards there is a huge beer fest that's about a 10 minute walk from the tug of war. The rope is so big that it can't be lifted, and people are walking up on top of it. There are smaller ropes that branch off the sides of the main rope, like handels, and that is what you tug. Everyone just grabs the side ropes and starts pullin. Here's a few pics!
