I would like to inform introduce Gozan no Okuribi which will be held August 16th.
I change to Nara Line at JR Kyoto Station and change to Keihan Railway in the first Tofuku-ji Temple and get off at Demachiyanagi Station.


It arrives at the riverbank of Kamogawa by 19:30 and sees all six characters from a capital letter in turn.
As for the farewelling spirits bonfire of five mountains, six characters of the "capital letter" "Mystery" "Law" "Boat-shaped" "Left capital letter" "Torii form" rise in the night sky of Kyoto.

"Capital letter" 20:00, "Mystery" "Law" 20:05, "Boat-shaped" 20:10, "Left capital letter" 20:15, "Torii form" 20:20


"Kyoto Gozan no Okuribi”,which colors the summer night sky, is a traditional event to send the spirit of Obon.
Capital letters emerge in Higashiyama, Mystery and Law in Matsugasaki, Boat-shaped in Nishikamo, Left capital letter in Okitayama, and Torii form in Saga.
From Kamogawa, you can clearly see, Mystery, Law, Capital letters.






The highlight is from 20:20 to 20:30, when all the letters are burning.
