Satoshi had the day off, so we went to Arashiyama. Most areas were decorated for Tanabata on the 7th. (See the large bamboo poles with decorations hanging from them?) It's ayu (river smelt) season too, we saw this old man fishing with a really long pole. Last year, we came about the same time to see the hasu no hana (lotus flowers). This year, they seem to be a little late. There were some blooming, but I think in a week or two they will be in full bloom. There were some tombo (dragonfly).
