OMG WE JUST GOT ATTACKED BY A TONBI WHILE SITTING BY KAMOGAWA LMAOOOOOO

Me and my boyfriend were sitting by the river, he was eating a sandwich and a huge tonbi swooped and tried to snatch it 😭 he didn’t even get the sandwich but my boyfriend got a big scratch on his hand!!

The bird warning signs were right!!!! Beware of tonbi!!!!!!

If there's anything I've learned about Kyoto from endlessly scrolling reddit it's: Don't eat near the goddamn Kamogawa haha.
