🏮 Hakone Gora Natsu Matsuri Daimonji Yaki

箱根強羅夏まつり大文字焼

Hakone, Kanagawa (Myojodake) · Every year on 16 August

The Hakone Gora Natsu Matsuri Daimonji-yaki is a summer festival in the Gora Onsen area of Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, held every year around Obon in August and organized with the involvement of the Hakone Gora Tourist Association and the Hakone Town Tourist Association. It can be enjoyed in the area just a short walk from Gora Station on the Hakone Tozan Railway, and viewing is free. This festival, which has continued since 1921, has been cherished as a traditional event representing summer in Gora Onsen. On the day, the Daimonji-yaki is held on the slopes of Mount Myojo from 19:30, and a collaboration with launched fireworks can be seen. Soaking in the baths or footbaths of hot spring inns while viewing the large character and fireworks rising into the night sky is a way to enjoy the festival unique to Gora.
