What I did in Kyoto with kimono rental Mission Gion

Continuation from What I did in Nikko

I met up with Junko-san from Japan Tourism Board before setting for my Kyoto adventure. She helped me plan my adventure – where to go and what to visit.

En route to #Kyoto via #shinkansen. ? I’m excited to wear #kimono and explore the beautiful cultural shrines. ? See you soon Junko-san! ? #janiqueeltravels

My first stop was Mission Gion located off the main street of Shijo Street.

The lady who wrapped me in layers and tied me with many ribbons. Took her about 30-40 mins.

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Green and relaxing.

I ended my Kyoto adventure with dinner at Kyo-Shikian located at Ponyocho-dori Street.

Last night’s dinner at #kyoshikian. A hidden gem underground. The #beef fillet steak is mouth watering. ? I simply KO after wearing the #kimono for 7 hours. ?? #janiqueeltravels
