Mt. Daimonji is one of the five mountains.
Mt. Daimonji is open for 24 hours so you can go up the mountain at night.
This is a view from the top in the daytime.
Mt. Daimonji has totally different two faces.
When you walk in the mountain at night, a torch is necessary.
Without torches, you cannot see anything.
Some stairs don not have balustrades so you need to mind your step with care.
If you are afraid of darkness, you should go with somebody.
The mountain at night could be very scary.
On the other hand, the view from the top is very beautiful.
Only on 16th August you cannot enter the mountain.
On the day you should look up the bonfire from the ground. .
There are some good places for seeing the fire nearby A-yado.
