Kyoto's summer is extremely humid and humid. However, it is also true that there are scenery and events that can only be seen at this time of year. This time, we will introduce tourist routes and ideas that will allow you to enjoy Kyoto in the summer and stay cooler.

The first thing you can't miss is the Kibune area. The temperature is about 2〜3 degrees lower than in Kyoto City, and the restaurant on the riverbed lined up along the river is cool to the eye. Cold somen noodles are also a unique summer pleasure. If you book early, you can avoid crowds and enjoy it before the peak of the day.

The next thing I would like to recommend is Tadasu Forest at Shimogamo Shrine. The tall trees grow, and just walking around gives you a pleasant shade. This is a place where you can experience the feeling of sweat coming from, which is unusual for Kyoto in the summer.

Spots that can be viewed indoors, such as Sanjusangendo and Kyoto National Museum, are also great ally. The appeal of this site is that you can get a feel for culture and history while avoiding the strong sunlight.

Additionally, during the aftermath of the Gion Festival (late July), you can enjoy a relaxed Yamahoko parade with few stalls. This is the best time to aim for those who are concerned about the large number of people.

To prevent the heat, it is recommended to use cold storage products or bring a frozen tea plastic bottle with you. Another trick is to make good use of underground passages and department stores around Kyoto Station and Kawaramachi to combine "shady routes."

Kyoto is tough in summer, but there are a few different scenery and experiences await you. Why not enjoy a trip to find cool while dealing with the heat?
