Mt. Atago
愛宕山
Kyoto, Kyoto · Elevation 924 m
Atagoyama is a 924 m sacred peak in Ukyō Ward, Kyoto City, marking the historical boundary between the old provinces of Yamashiro and Tanba. Long paired with Mt. Hiei to the east as one of Kyoto's two great spiritual mountains, it is crowned by Atago Shrine — head shrine of some 900 affiliated Atago shrines across Japan and the principal Shinto site of fire-prevention worship. The Sennichi-mairi observance, held overnight from 31 July into 1 August, is said to confer a thousand days' worth of divine protection and draws tens of thousands of pilgrims each year. The mountain is listed in the Japanese 300 Famous Mountains, the Hundred Famous Flower Mountains, and the Kansai 100, among many others.
