Held every year in Soma and Haramachi on Fukushima's east coast, the festival runs from July 23 - 25 and features several events.
The second day features a full parade through the streets of Haramachi, horse racing exhibitions, and the main event, the contest of the sacred banners.
The riders, in full armour and with colourful flags flying from their backs, scramble to catch one of forty banners shot high into the air, then ride through the crowds to a shrine to receive their blessing.

 GLOCOM Platform - Tech Reviews - Japan Technology Review
Haramachi City, a small town in Fukushima Prefecture, is best known for the Souma-Nomaoi, "wild horse chase", Festival (for the city's English website, see http://www.city.haramachi.fukushima.jp/english).
The Haramachi network is the result of a local government initiative supported by the central government (Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications) in the form of subsidies for local information infrastructure construction, together with backing by a private carrier, NTT East, for the purpose of maintaining their employees in local regions.
With these problems aside, recent examples such as Haramachi City and Yajima-machi are encouraging signs for Japan to overcome the digital divide in high-speed Internet access between large metropolitan areas and local regions.
