Climbing “Mt.Daimonji” of the Gozan Okuribi (Kyoto)

I climbed Mt.Daimonji in Higashiyama, which I always only looked up at. Every year on August 16, the day of the Gozan Okuribi (Bonfire of the Five Mountains), a large character appears halfway up Mt. Daimonji.This time, I climbed the mountain to see the view from this character in the middle of the mountain.

You can walk up the mountain path to Shogunzuka Seiryu-den Temple at the top of the mountain (Kyoto)

If you look from Heian-jingu Shrine, you can see Shogunzuka Seiryu-den Temple, a separate building of Shoren-in Monzeki Temple, on the mountain to the south.This temple has a large stage in its grounds, from which you can see the whole of Kyoto.When I visited, it was cherry blossom season, so the grounds were full of tourists.
