Today is Sunday the 16th, “Yoiyama” of Kyoto’s Gion Festival
It was extremely hot during the day, over 36 degrees Celsius…
But in the evening there is a pleasant breeze…
Tonight we enjoyed Japanese cuisine on the riverbed.
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…
It is one of my favorite places because I am soothed and comforted by the watery air of the Kamo River and the river breeze gently caresses my cheeks.
- Ice walnut rice cake from Kanbukuro, a Sakai specialty that has been available for 700 years.
- The Gion Festival is the highlight of the Yasaka Shrine festival, and the Yamahoko Junko (float procession) was viewed as the Mae-matsuri (pre-matsuri).
