Very friendly and fast. The selection was nice and it was just outside a station. We got there late but they didn't penalize us. They lock the doors after 5pm so you must return the yukatas before 5pm or you'll get penalized. The hair was also really quick and pretty. We also got free Keychain after returning them!

A combination of 800-year-old temples and modern art. The live light, shadow and music gave me a very different experience in Kyoto. The craziest thing is that in the end, in the elevated main hall of Sakyamuni Buddha, light and shadow are projected on the entire hall, imagining the scene of dragons soaring and clouds rising from a sunny day to a violent storm. I stood there and watched for a long time🥹

Excellent way to see Kyoto! Katz our guide is a local and was very great and fun. If you are in town for a short while this is by far the way to see the sights thanks again!

I chose the cheapest soup tofu dish, but the price/performance ratio is really average. The dining environment is very good, and it will be even more beautiful during the red leaf season. If you have not experienced it, you can come and try it and choose the appropriate set meal according to your financial situation.
