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.

A random park in Osaka

it’s rainy season now, so it’s generally hot, humid, and wet; this particular day was only humid, so I took the opportunity to leave the house and explore some of the western side of Osaka.
