Where's the best/recommended place in Osaka/Kyoto to rent Kimono and stroll down streets with old Japanese style building?

Thanks for helping out guys! I'll contact my Airbnb host closer to the date.
I can only read and write hiragana so it's quite hard to understand the kanji and katakana in Google Maps Japan. |

Do note that Kiyomizu Dera is currently undergoing renovation: https://kyoto.travel/en/latest_news/63 right thanks, is there anything to eat walking distance from Ginkaku-ji or Kinkaku-ji that is not overly priced due to it being near to tourist site?If there's time, you can also visit Nishiki market which is not too far off the Nijo Castle.

Your "not overly priced" is at the budget of how much? Btw you can read page 1's first post - there is a recommended 14-days kansai trip itinerary by RC. Check out Day 9 of his itinerary. |

Wednesday - Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Tenryu-ji Temple, Kinkakuji, Nijo Castle Thursday - start with Fushimi Inari Taisha, then move up to Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizudera, Ginkakuji P/S: As far as I can remember, there's not much restaurants around Ginkakuji and Kinkakuji |

QUOTE(midnightsunray @ Feb 24 2018, 01:00 PM) That's a good deal. You can also try ANA and JAL to get the full Japanese experience. On ANA and JAL they serve bento boxes that are really good. I got my tickets via ANA two years ago for RM1.5k per pax. My upcoming trip via JAL is RM1.9k which I felt is expensive but at that time it was cheaper than ANA. hi =) wanna ask probably when is ANA and japan airline promo? tqANA's in-flight service is impeccable. The air stewardess are not only friendly but pretty as well (FYI I'm a straight girl) XD |

QUOTE(tohff7 @ Mar 2 2018, 01:41 PM) Logistics wise, maybe doing Ginkakuji-Kinkakuji-Yasaki Shrine in this order is a bit weird. My suggestion - I see, but is it better to go Kiyomizudera early morning to avoid crowd than Fushimi Inari Taisha?Wednesday - Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Tenryu-ji Temple, Kinkakuji, Nijo Castle Thursday - start with Fushimi Inari Taisha, then move up to Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizudera, Ginkakuji P/S: As far as I can remember, there's not much restaurants around Ginkakuji and Kinkakuji I put Fushimi Inari Taisha at end of the day because its near to train station and have food there for dinner |

Fushimi Inari can be done early morning or late evening, where there’s much lesser crowd and you can take the ‘must-have’ photos at ease.I put Fushimi Inari Taisha at end of the day because its near to train station and have food there for dinner |
