When the evenings were a little warmer than this, Nao-san enjoyed a small picnic after work...soaking up the lively atmosphere on the streets and dining platforms above from the relative peace of the riverbank😊

Nōryōyuka (納涼床) are a common sight during summertime. Stilted platforms extend from businesses flanking the river, stretching over the narrow Misosogi-gawa (みそそぎ川).

Guests, for an extra charge, can dine outside, though the chance of cooling down is slim until September.
