TOKYO , Aug 27 ( News On Japan ) - One of Japan's three mystical festivals, the 400-year-old Yoshida Fire Festival, was held Saturday night at a shrine at the foot of Mount Fuji, Fujiyoshida City, to pray for safe mountain climbing and to appease volcanic eruptions. This year, an unusually large number of 3-meter-tall torches were assembled, with around 110 lanterns lighting up a 2 kilometer pathway from around 6:30pm. Tourists were entranced by the mesmerizing atmosphere of flames painting the night sky red, overwhelmed by the power of the flames up close.
