This trip included visits to the Abeno Harukas observation deck and the newly opened Kobe aquarium, plus a Mio shopping voucher. It was a fantastic experience with fun, great shopping, and delicious food – a complete package! I'd definitely buy from them again next time.
I originally booked to get dressed at 10:00, but I arrived early and was able to start choosing clothes earlier. The store was short-staffed that day, with only two staff members, so the dressing and styling time took quite a long time. Fortunately, the staff were kind and reassuring, and it was totally worth it once I was all dressed up because I was very satisfied!
I visited Katsuo-ji Temple this time. The little Daruma dolls were so cute! Unfortunately, we had to rush to make our wishes, so the rest of the photo and stamp collection was very rushed. We didn't even have time to look at the souvenirs, which was a real shame! Kiyomizu-dera Temple was beautiful, and Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka were great for exploring! The Rilakkuma bears in Arashiyama were adorable! The bamboo forest photos don't do it justice; it was absolutely gorgeous! The tour guide was fantastic; they explained everything and even told us what good food to eat. I hope to visit Katsuo-ji Temple again next time for a pilgrimage to fulfill my vows!
