Today is Sunday the 16th, “Yoiyama” of Kyoto’s Gion Festival
It was extremely hot during the day, over 36 degrees Celsius…

We started eating from 6:30 p.m., but the area was still bright with the remnants of the daytime heat.
The night tobari gradually descends, and the sky changes color like a gradation…
