Today is Yoiyama, small festival on the eve of the Gion festival.
The first parade of decorated floats is held tommorow(July 17th).
Yesterday about 178 thousand people enjoyed the Gion festival’s night.
In the evening of today, narrow streets such as Muromachi-dori and Shinmachi-dori will be crowded so that they will not be able to move.
Summer in Kyoto is hot and very humid because of a basin.
So please be careful with heat illness!
・Drink plenty of water.
・Keep out of the sun and hot places.
・Keep cool.
If someone loses consciousness or is unable to drink independently,
call an ambulane (Ambulane call is 119)！
Enjoy the travel of Kyoto!
