Gozan no Okuribi is one of the 4 large events(Aoi Matsuri, Gion Matsuri, and Jidai Matsuri) in Kyoto.

Starting at 8PM, the giant bonfires are lit on the five mountains, each with a distinctive shape.

People go to the Kamo River, between Sanjo and Imadegawa Street, for an excellent view of the initial fires.

Let's enjoy tasteful summer of Kyoto!
