Summer Evening in Gion Higashiyama

Taking advantage of a cooler, less crowded time of day

In Kyoto many young women wear yukata in summer

Yasaka pagoda stands tall at the end of the street

Red gate of a shrine, now closed for the night

The streets are lined with beautiful traditional style houses

Picturesque paved streets descend from Kiyomizu temple

Pine branch overhangs a wood and plaster wall

A red covered bench outside a restaurant where customers can wait for a table

The evening sun makes leaf patterns on a wall

Earlier in the day this street would have been crowded

Thick shutter windows wide open to let heat trapped in the building escape

A restaurant worker ducks through a small door in the wooden wall

A view of Yasaka tower

If you're tired of walking you can take a rickshaw

Lamps begin to glow in gardens and restaurant entrances even before the light is gone

Gion Higashiyama is popular with tourists for good reason! It's a fascinating area rich in tradition and beautiful detail. Because it is so popular it is usually crowded, but I went there one summer evening and found it less busy than usual. I could enjoy taking photos of the traditional buildings and beautiful streets.
