The Kyoto City Tourism Association (DMO KYOTO), in a first-ever collaboration with the Kyoto Gozan Okuribi Association, will deliver a program for tourists to deeply experience the traditional culture of Kyoto on the day of the lighting of the Kyoto Gozan Okuribi bonfires, a major traditional event of Kyoto. The aim of this program is to support the efforts to sustain the tradition and pass down the cultural values by inviting visitors, chiefly from overseas, to experience and gain deeper understandings of this cultural event.
The proceeds of this project will go to the preservation and continuation of Kyoto Gozan Okuribi.
