Ogiyama Fire Festival - 扇山火まつり, Beppu, Japan, 別府

Ogiyama Fire Festival, Beppu, Oita prefecture, Kyushu, Japan
扇山火まつり, 別府, 大分県

At the 1st week of April, during the onsen (hot spring) festival in Beppu, they also have the Ōgiyama fire festival in which they burn the front side of mt. Ohira, locally known as Ōgiyama.
It is quite spectacular, they start by lighting fires on the edges and then the wind does the rest but everything is controlled. It takes around 2.5 hours to burn the whole side of the mountain!
