Boat Race

Horse racing is quite popular in Japan, but if you get tired of that, you can watch and gamble on boat races. I would assume that pretty much every race is fixed. It's kind of difficult to describe the thrill of witnessing your first boat race, but I'd say it's kind of like if a woman was cloned six times, dressed up in six different colored cat outfits, started hovering on the water, and, in unison, asked you what color you liked.
