Bon fire in Kyoto ~Getting warm, rainy season coming, remembering summer~

If you know Japanese Bon fire, you may know also these mountains in Kyoto.


In the photo, there's a picture of mountains. That's at night, because you see the moon on it. 4 mountains has kanji each and 3 has symbols. Though it's just a picture, if you come to Kyoto, you will find all the mountains located separately. And in August local people will fire the sort of torches to make the kanji on a mountain. It's really amazing.


It's bigger photo for one mountain. The kanji means "big" in English. That has deep meanings each!

The event is called Gozan-no-okuribi. One of the most famous event in Japan.

Nor it's in Spring getting warmer. I love Spring, and I love summer. Oh I shouldn't forget the beginning of summer, which is known as the rainy season of Japan. I love it, despite of rainy days.
There's so many things worth seeing just in the season such as flowers, festivals, and any events.

Rain isn't always good, but sometimes really good!
