Where do you go?</p> <p><strong>Daimonji Yama (Mt. Daimonji)</strong><br /> This small mountain offers an excellent view of Kyoto and can be climbed in 40 minutes or so. The jump off point is Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) and Philosopher's Path neighborhood. Mt. Daimonji is the place where the largest of the five great bonfires are burned for the Gozan-no-Okuribi ceremony at O-bon in mid August. </p> <p><a href="http://openkyoto.com/sightseeing/hiking-kyoto-daimonji-yama.html" rel="nofollow">http://openkyoto.com/sightseeing/hiking-kyoto-daimonji-yama.html</a> </p>
