The kite pullers can only run so far (about 50 meters or so). After that, if the wind doesn't kick in, the kite falls back down.May 07, 2005

Zama's kite apparently was lighter than Sagamihara's kite because it went up much higher under the same wind conditions.May 07, 2005

Do not enter sign. In 2004, on a very windy day (almost typhoon strength), Zama's giant kite broke in the air and crashed to the ground onto spectators (who got hurt) on the side, right beyond the carp streamers in this picture. So from 2005, they have become very strict and cordoned off the area where the kite crashed.May 07, 2005

The following photos were taken on May 5, 2005. The site is on a baseball field, very dusty. The site is directly south and downstream from the Sagamihara kite festival site.It was a great idea to hold both kite festivals on the same days. We could see both in one day.May 07, 2005
