Although this Ookini Arashiyama store is a short distance from the station, the location is actually very convenient, two steps to Tenryuji Temple and the lively street, without having to walk so hard in a kimono. Although the shop is not big, the kimono styles are beautiful, clean and well maintained. The most commendable thing is their hair design, many choices and stylish styles, very suitable for young people, the owner and shopkeeper are also very friendly and friendly, which makes people feel beautiful. Although the style of the photography services added was a little different from what I expected, but overall the whole experience was pleasant and a very satisfying attempt.
The little train is a lot of fun and worth a visit. The bamboo forest scenery is beautiful and perfect for taking photos; a must-see. The surrounding shops are also very unique.
The tour guide and driver were friendly and helpful, and each of the three scenic spots had its own unique charm; the tour departed from Osaka by tour bus, saving time and effort.
The entire trip was well planned. The second stop, the Inari torii gate, was a little shorter due to the schedule of the third stop, the little train. Those who like it might feel a bit unsatisfied. However, it was still manageable because it rained that day. The local guide was very attentive and experienced. He gave you all the necessary reminders and precautions and was trustworthy. I would definitely visit again if I had the chance.
