The festival is a long-held tradition, and is one of the representative Intangible Folk Cultural Properties of Japan. The Yoshida Fire Festival Is a Must-See Festival in Japan!

The Yoshida Fire Festival is accessible by bus or train, and temporary parking lots are also prepared during the festival, making it possible to visit by car. Traffic can get quite congested on festival days, so be sure to sure to account for drive time when visiting the festival by car. Summary of the Yoshida Fire Festival Source :YouTube screenshot Mt.
