Escape the Kyoto summer heat 🌿 Kibune & Gion Festival night | Japan travel vlog

🌿To escape the intense Kyoto summer heat, we headed up into the mountains to Kibune.
We cooled off with our feet in the ice-cold river, experienced the serene evening atmosphere at Kifune Shrine, and capped it all off by wandering through the magical Gion Festival night. 💦
Hope you enjoy coming along on this trip with us!
