Lizhen Temple

My 5-day, 4-night trip to Osaka, Japan included one day planned as part of a KKday itinerary. Although we rushed to four attractions in one day with limited time, we still managed to see everything we wanted to do. My boss gave us a humorous and engaging presentation, alternating between Chinese and English.

My first kimono experience! I asked the shop a lot of questions on Instagram beforehand, and there were staff members who spoke Chinese! I'm so grateful to them for patiently answering all my questions. I chose the furisode I'd been wanting, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find the style I saw on the shop's Instagram, but luckily I found it on the day!! The kimono-wearing instructor was very kind and had great strength, making sure the kimono wouldn't come undone. The stylist was also fantastic! I never thought I could look so good 😍 If you're unsure which level of kimono you're looking for, don't worry, you can choose a basic one first. The staff will explain the price range, and if you like a different level, you can just pay the difference. There were no hidden costs! The only minor inconvenience was the shoes. If you're going to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, I recommend wearing your own shoes. The kimono shoes provided by the shop were quite painful towards the end 😂 Other than that, there's nothing to complain about~ I'd definitely go again if I have the chance ❤
