When exchanging tickets at Deryanagi Town, the station attendant kindly gave me a map of attractions along the route. In addition to ordinary trams, you can also ride the observation train, and the scenery is amazing!

The performance is very compact and good for a fixed-length drama. Overall, the entertainment is not as good as Nanta Show. However, the rhythm of the Japanese plot is different and it is worth experiencing.

I really recommend it!! I got the subway pass pick-up place wrong and was 30 minutes late, but they didn't say anything and kindly guided me. There were many kinds of yukatas, and the staff were very professional, so it only took 30 minutes to put on the yukata and do my hair. They also did my hair really nicely and fixed it well, so it didn't get messy even though I ran around all day. They also provided everything from the yukata to hair accessories, bags, and clogs, without any additional charges, within the amount I paid, and they even gave me a plastic bag to put my shoes in. Also, when I said I wanted to change the color of my obi, they untied my original obi and replaced it with the new color, even though it was a hassle. The staff were so kind and professional that I felt good even before the trip started, and thanks to them, I was able to take a lot of pretty pictures throughout the trip! Next time I go to Kyoto, I will rent a yukata here. I highly recommend this place for yukata rentals!!
