The full moon and the accompanying traditional Japanese music and dancing was a pleasure to watch. When the clouds covered the moon it made for an even more beautiful scene, quite magical.

Me and Jake went to Shimogamo Jinja for Meigetsu Kangensai Festival - 名月管絃祭. A festival celebrating the full moon. We were lucky that it was a clear night, we waited about an hour or so for the moon to rise over the temple and grounds but it was definitely worth the wait. It looked magnificent.
