In famous bamboo forest in Arashiyama, Kyoto

Bamboozled

Met an attractive local

The Tenryu-ji temple

Zenified

Green matcha tea beer

Can’t wear a kimono all day

Bridge of Arashimaya

Store name of the famous mandarin sweets

The inside of the mandarin orange has been liquified into a special jelly

Every temple is gorgeous inside

Colors of Japan’s greenery

Writing one’s blessings

Flowers ????

Another way to help promote a temple

Touching a peach

Lake Biwako - Japan’s largest lake, next to Kyoto

thats not a peach! thats Bulbasaur!

Socks with thong sandals makes me uncomfortable...

The sandals are geta and are typically worn with tabi socks. Traditional Japanese attire for kimono wear.

Is kimono heavy?

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Summer kimono (yukata) is make of cotton. Formal kimono is pretty heavy and can get hot.

Been to Japan twice. I love Kyoto and the temples there. Especially Kiyomizu Dera. I need a 3rd visit.

Are kimono's comfy?

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

They look comfy. Especially if they’re made of real silk.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

No they are not, there is a hard layer of plastic over the tummy as well, it’s hard to wear them all day

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

In my limited experience, it depends. More formal ones are stiffer and more restricting. More casual are lighter and nicer to wear.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You have to bind the layers pretty tightly to keep them looking nice so they're pretty restricting from my experience. The fabric is lovely!

I miss living in Japan. I wish I could go back. It feels like my soul and my body got separated being forced to leave.

This repost is so old that Godzilla already laid waste to most of those destinations.

Even if we pretend it IS original content, it's still full of selfies which requires a downvote.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 9

Those aren’t selfies. I wouldn’t downvote someone having pictures of themselves taken on an interesting journey.

Such beautiful kimonos are they silk?

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

Mostly cotton and some parts are silk. It’s a 3 layer kimono ^_^

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Depends on the kimono. These look like yukata, which are usually cotton. More formal (+ expensive) kimono might be silk.
