Atago Fire Festival

The flames dancing in the darkness are fantastic
A strange festival where bundles of straw tied with rough rope are set on fire and swung around to pray for good health at I Fukube Shrine. The flames dancing in the darkness are fantastic, and it takes place every year on the closest Sunday to August 24. People who are facing a year of misfortune and general participants are also welcome to join.
