Gozan no Okuribi
Okuribi is an important event held on the last day of Obon on August 16th to send the spirits of ancestors who have returned home during Obon back to the underworld.
Among these, the Daimonji Gozan no Okuribi is a fitting finale to Kyoto's summer events, and the sight of it lit up and rising sharply into the summer night sky is a truly mystical painting, a seasonal spectacle that brightens up Kyoto nights.
From our hotel you can see four of them: Daimonji, Funagata, Myoho and Hidari Daimonji.
