Daimonji Gozan-no-Okuribi is held on Ausugut 16th.

This is the traditional ritual to guide the spirits of deads to "the other side" by lighting up the mountains with fire.

On top of that, some characters or shaprs (like ship or Torii gate sharp) are created by fire.
Its view is just amazing.

The best spot to see for each ones are as follows:

Daimonzi (Japanese letter 大)

• Kamo-River sides

Myo-ho (Japanese letter 妙法)

• Kitayama street *around Notredam girl's school

Ship sharp
