Thursday, August 15 — Fishing Tournament in Kuraoka District🎣🔥 Today, Thursday, August 15, a fishing tournament took place in the Kuraoka district👏 About 350 kg of yamame and rainbow trout were released into the river🐟 The event opened with a fishing class for children🥳 The kids picked things up incredibly fast, and the adults watching around them kept saying, “Wow, this isn’t just ‘they’re good’… their casting spots are perfect…” in amazement🤣🤣🤣 The fish the children caught were grilled and eaten right away, just enough for each family🤤💕Fresh fish they had caught themselves must have tasted extra delicious🥰 After that came the adult fishing tournament💪! Veterans who know all the best spots and techniques kept reeling fish in one after another😯👏Truly impressive… They put away the caught fish so quickly that it was hard to capture good photos😂 While the adults fished earnestly, there was also a grab-and-catch contest for children…🫳🐟 Kids grabbed the slippery fish non-stop until there were none left, and some families ended up taking home full plastic bags of fish😂 Older elementary and middle school kids seemed put off by the sliminess, so the smaller children fearlessly caught the most — which was amusing to watch🤭✨ By midday, even the adults had nets full of fish🤣 The day ended with a raffle for luxurious prizes like sweets, daily necessities, and sake👏 This summer event, a family-friendly fishing tournament at the end of Obon, must have given participants a wonderful summer memory😌🌻

August 11 (Sun) Tenohira Gion Market ⛩️👜✨ Today, August 11 (Sun) from 9:00 to 15:00, the Tenohira Gion Market was held at Gion Shrine in the Kuraoka area.🙌 Products from Kyoto, Nara, and shops and craftsmen from Gokasecho and nearby gathered at Gion Shrine.😯👏 Everything was very charming, and each item showed clear dedication and passion.😌✨ A visitor said just looking at them was restorative and soothing, and that was exactly right.🥹 Some items were priced beyond what many could usually spend 😂, but after hearing the creators’ stories, it made sense… each product overflowed with care and love.👏 In the food area, the cool older gentlemen from Kuraoka were grilling yakitori and corn on the cob, which were popular, and while I was filming they kindly shared some with me. 🤤🍗 Thank you for the treat.🥰 There were also fish sushi, takoyaki, karaage, fries, udon, and other kid-pleasing menu items, and the lunch hour was bustling.🥳 Since it was just before Obon, locals and returning visitors called out “Long time no see!” here and there, creating a warm, smiling atmosphere.😆💕 I splurged a bit, so from tomorrow I’ll live frugally while enjoying the things I bought today.🤣🤣🤣
