| Description |  *From 8pm on August 16th (Sat), 2008Daimonji Gozan Okuribi is an event related to Obon – the Japanese festival of the dead, and the journey of the spirits, which, having just returned home for the festival must now return to the other world. Also called “Daimonji,” it is especially well known in this part of Japan as a kanji character meaning “big” – seen on the hillside of Higashiyama, is ignited and can be seen from miles around. This ignition leads to a chain reaction and many other great bonfires on the mountains surrounding Kyoto are ignited one by one, burning for about 30 minutes.
