Why don't you walk around in Kyoto city in a kimono?

 
Speaking of Kyoto, there are lots of temples, shrines, and so on.
And  Kimono get's well with Kyoto's traditions.
We visited Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine in a kimono.
The kimono rental agency staff picked us up to COMPASS.
So there is no need to worry about getting lost on the way to the shop.

 
 
The store staff are very polite and helpful.
 
 
 
There are many kimono's, so it is very hard to decide which one to wear.
But no worries.
The staff help us to match all the kimono's items with very good advice.
 
 
They put us on a kimono and set our hair.
I guess that some people(including me) have a desire to change.
So I was very excited how easy we can be transformed.
 

Finally, we could be ladies in a kimono.
We went to Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine with some limitations with our walking due to the kimono.






This shrine is famous for 1,000 torii gates.


We took some rest and drank green tea.
Then we came back to COMPASS with the kimono.
Later on the staff of the agency came over to collect the kimono.
So we didn't need to worry about the time and no need to go back to the shop.
 
Why don't you walk around in Kyoto city in a kimono?
It will be a fantastic experience in Japan.
