class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the sun begins to set, the temperature is often more comfortable than during the hottest part of the day, making it a lovely time to explore the city and take beautiful photos in your yukata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the traditional streets around <strong>Yasaka Shrine and Gion<\/strong> to the lively atmosphere of <strong>Shijo Kawaramachi<\/strong>, you can experience a different side of Kyoto while enjoying the unique charm of Japanese summer. \ud83c\udf90<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span
