Mt Daimonji is part of the Higashiyama Mountain Range and is the most symbolic mountain in Kyoto. On the night of August, 16th which is the end of Obon season, the mountain lights up by a set of huge fire arranged to form Chinese characters facing toward the entire city of Kyoto. The event is called Gozan Okuribi. Mont Daimonji holds the central position of this traditional event.
