In the bus, on our way to Nishijin Textile Centre.
The Japanese kimono, which literally means "clothing", is one of the world's instantly recognizable traditional garments.
Thanks to the popularity of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the West at the beginning of the last century, the kimono-clad maiden became one of the quintessential images of Japan. There are different types of kimono for different occasions and seasons, including those worn by men.
Kimono are a much less common sight these days and are usually only seen worn by older women or on special occasions. Part of the reason is the cost, as a decent silk kimono will set you back the best part of a million yen.
Lockers for us to keep our shoes before entering the resturant. When I use the toilet in the restaurant, I have to wear the toilet slippers that countless people have been wearing. Otherwise, I have to go into the toilet barefoot which is worse.
Each locker has a wooden plate-like key with corresponding hiragana characters and we have to keep the key with us to get our shoes back when we leave the restaurant.

The unique entrance ticket to Kingakuji Temple 
Kingakuji Temple - The golden pavillion built in 1394, the present structure is covered with gold plate. It is a replica of the original destroyed by Arson in 1955. 
The Kiyomizu temple, its main hall is a national treasure and its cliff-edge veranda offers a spectacular panoramic view of Kyoto and its surroundings. 
The Shinsaibashi is the largest and busiest shopping area in Osaka where many boutiques and specialty shops are gathered.
