Come to Kyoto, try to wear a kimono as the locals do

#KyotoItinerary The best experience when visiting Kyoto is wearing a kimono. There are many shops that sell kimono photos in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple. They accept Chinese speakers, making communication easy. There is no need to make an appointment in advance (the price on site is not high), you can choose after arriving at the site (ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 yen). Of course, there are still some differences in fabric patterns, which are directly reflected in the price. It really is true that you get what you pay for and the devil is in the details. In addition to the pattern of the kimono, the matching of the belt is also very important. Many kimono shops require the clothes to be returned at 5:30, and they close at around 6 o'clock. Some people also say that it’s better to go earlier so that there are more styles. It turns out that the process of putting on a kimono takes 30 minutes and requires the help of a special person. On the contrary, the hairstylist finished my hair in less than 10 minutes! I admire you so much! Makeup is generally not provided for kimono photography, so sisters should put on makeup in advance, and you can do it after doing your hairstyle. They are all provided, so you don’t need to bring your own. You can choose a small bag, a wooden umbrella, a furry shawl, etc. There are a lot of people in Kiyomizu Temple, and you can take photos in the alleys outside, which are also very photogenic. Drink less water when shooting in kimono, as it is not convenient to go to the toilet. If you want to arrange a photo shoot, please make an appointment in advance.
