July 12

Sango Station in Nara Prefecture, late at night — recently attended my first proper お祭り (festival) in a small town between Osaka and Nara. didn’t capture many photos and won’t be sharing them online - cameras weren’t really allowed - but it was a super fun and memorable experience.

as previously alluded to, the weather is killer here at the moment - literally. definitely anticipate retreating to New Zealand around this time in future years if I stick around.
