Thousands of people attended an ancient Japanese festival where log riders storm down a hill on a tree trunk.
Thousands watch on as men risk their lives sliding down hills on tree trunks as part of an ancient Japanese festival.
The Onbashira festival, also known as Sacred Pillars, dates back more than 1200 years and is held every six years in the Suwa, Nagano.
The event is deeply rooted in Shinto religion, and was originally held to honour the gods of wind, water and crops.
