Origen e historia
Held every August 26-27 at Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen and Suwa shrines, the fire festival closes Mt. Fuji's climbing season and prays for the safety of the volcano and its pilgrims.
Bueno saber
The torches are lit around 6-7pm on the 26th — the most dramatic time. Streets get crowded and smoky, so arrive before sunset and watch from the main approach road.
