Exactly how large are the feet of gods?

For people in Japan, the answer could be about 12 meters long.

People in the city of Fukushima dedicated on Monday a humungous straw sandal to the god of a local shinto shrine.

The sandal weighs about two tons.

The annual ceremony is nearly three centuries old and ends with the placing of the sandal inside the shrine.
