In the Daimonji Fire Festival fires are lit in the shape of symbols or kanji characters on six mountains around town every August 16 since the 1600s. Which one(s) should I photograph this year?

Hey Nils,
Sorry to go off topic, but I just wanted to let you know that your website is something that I look forward to reading everyday. I'm a young guy living in the States who has a burning desire to learn the Japanese language and culture and hopefully, one day, move to Japan and start my life. In 3 days I will be 16. I know that I have a good few more years before I go out into the real world, but I feel that I know what I want...and I know that my interests could shift, but I just want to thank you for letting me know that it is possible. Thank you for this blog. You are truly a great person. Thank you.
(Getting back on topic...) (^-^)
I vote for tori-mon, with hidari-dai as my second pick.

Tori-mon is an interesting choice, but I was actually thinking of the same thing.
