Torchlight Procession – Mt. Daisen, Japan | Walking Tour
Join me on a hypnotic walking tour under flickering torchlight during the 79th Daisen Natsuyamabiraki Festival. This ancient ceremony begins with a Shinto ritual at Ōgamiyama Shrine Okunomiya, featuring a stunning torchlight procession along Japan’s longest stone-paved shrine approach—2,000 participants illuminating the night like a flowing river of fire.
Feel the spiritual energy of Mount Daisen as the sacred flame guides the path. The next day, the festival continues with a summit prayer ceremony to bless the summer climbing season—melding myth, tradition, and natural beauty in every step.
