June 20:
We spent the last weekend in Kyoto. We had an “Okamochi Bento” with a glass of beer on the Noryodoko terrace along the Kamo River, cool riverbed dining on the riverbed platform was my long-time dream. It was a hot day, but there was a refreshing wind blowing on that day. The bento box is two-tiered, and a variety of dishes, each beautifully arranged on a tiny plate, were included in each box.
Around evening on Friday, people gathered and sat along the Kamo River and enjoyed strolling along the lush riverbanks and Ponto-cho. It was a memorable moment during the visit.

June 17: I need to update the weather in Tokyo. It is supposed to be in the rainy season, but we have had such a hot day at 33℃ since the beginning of this week. It is likely to continue for a while. It is almost like midsummer! Where is the rainy season?
We are scheduled to have Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election on June 22, which is a preliminary skirmish for the next Upper House Election in July.
The temperature in Tokyo is high, around 36℃. It is almost like summer. The rainy season is near at hand in Tokyo. It has started already in Kyushu, and Shikoku. It is likely to start around June 9 in Tokyo this year. It spans the entire month of June or longer in most regions of Japan except Hokkaido. Although the rainy season can be a gloomy time, there’s some benefit.
The rainy season follows the annual peak travel period, and tourist spots are less crowded. During this time, Ajisai (hydrangea), a symbol of Japan’s rainy season, beautifully blooms.
