In the heart of Kyoto, a market alight With golden hues in the dark of night Dinner served, fresh and savory At tables set beneath a canopy

Laughter and chatter fill the air As friends and strangers come to share A moment of warmth and community In this bustling outdoor beauty

The lanterns glow with a gentle grace Adding to the magic of this place And in this photo, frozen in time A memory that will forever shine.
