Kimono Girls posing with Rickshaw Runner, Gion District, Kyoto.


I took this photo back in my December 2022 Japan Trip. It was outside of the Yasaka Jinja Nishiromon Gate (Western Tower Gate), Kyoto.

I thought it would be an amazing picture opportunity, so I asked if I could take the runner’s and rider’s picture!

At the time it didn’t come to mind that I could’ve provided them this photo right after taking it, so ever since the trip I’ve felt kind of guilty about it.

I just hope this photo reaches them after all this time! If anyone in Kyoto knows this Rickshaw runner or the Girls, please send this to them! Thanks Ya’ll!

  1. So cool that they allow/encourage visitors to rent traditional clothing for their visits. What a great way to experience the sites while being respectful of the culture! As a bystander, it adds to the atmosphere.
