The Fire Festival held at Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine and Suwa Shrine on August 26 and 27 every year is known as one of the three major festivals in Japan and is also called the Yoshida Fire Festival. The ceremony begins at 3 pm. On the 26th, the festival is held at Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine. In the evening, the "Myojin Mikoshi" and "Mikayama Mikoshi" shaped like Mount Fuji are carried by the bearers to the "Otabisho" to spend the night. At the same time, more than 70 3-meter-high torches and torches piled up in each household are lit at the same time. The whole town is instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the festive atmosphere lasts until late at night.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the two mikoshis enshrined in the Otabisho will parade in Fujiyoshida City and arrive at the Sengen Shrine at dusk. The festival reaches its climax when you follow the mikoshi around Takamagahara. The festival is called "Tombura Festival" because people hold the "Tombura Tamago Festival" (Miscanthus Festival) while they parade around the area called Takamagahara in the shrine.

## Mount Fuji: The totem of the Japanese soul, the priceless shock that must be seen in this life! **Definitely worth it! **It is far more than a mountain, but also a living totem that carries Japan&#39;s millennium faith and aesthetics**. Whether looking out over its sacred outline or challenging the summit, it is a great way to feel the Japanese spirit deeply. **Core highlights hit the soul:*** **The fast-changing scene:** The four seasons rotate to give it a very different face - spring cherry for skirt, summer green, autumn red leaves, winter snow crown. Under the clear sky, the momentum is magnificent, and the clouds are looming. **Each eye is a unique scenery postcard**. * ** Classic perspective punch card: ** * ** Kawaguchiko reflection: ** The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the perfect &quot;reverse Fuji&quot;, especially when there is no wind in the morning, it is a photography paradise. * **Shincangshan Asakusa Park: **The five-tower is framed with Mount Fuji, interpreting the most classic Japanese aesthetic. * **Goden Field Outlet: **Shopping while enjoying the huge mountain nearby, a wonderful experience. * **Top Challenge (7-9 Moon): **Conquering 3,776 meters on foot, meeting the &quot;Yulai Light&quot; (Sunrise) in the crater, and feeling the ultimate experience of conquest and sacred fusion (need to be fully prepared). * **Cultural Immersion: ** Hawthorn Shrine, Ninno Bahai Lingquan, and Fuji Theme Art Museum ... Infiltrate their awe and worship everywhere. **Tips: *** **Weather determines everything! ** Be sure to check the visibility forecast before traveling, and it may be completely &quot;invisible&quot; on rainy days. * Recommended for a distant view**Kawaguchiko/Mountain Lake area**, convenient transportation and diverse perspectives. * Climbing requires professional equipment, make an appointment in advance for mountain houses, and do your best. **Summary: ** The beauty of Mount Fuji transcends the vision, which is the resonance of nature and culture. Its sacred sense and magnificent beauty, no matter how close you look, it will become a scenery engraved into memory. If the heavens are beautiful, be sure to include it in the itinerary - not only to see a mountain, but also to touch the window of the Japanese soul. 🗻✨

We had so much fun! 🥰 I highly recommend the roller coaster! It was so fast, it felt like we were hanging vertically in the air the entire time, going around and around at a mountain-like height! It was so relaxing and refreshing!
