I have been on those streets and I very much agree how beautiful it is! But I have never seen it the way you do with that mood and early evening, it's soooo much beautiful than when I saw it in the afternoon.

If you can ignore the wires and lights overhead, the scene could be hundreds of years in the past with the Geishas walking down the street. Such a contrast with the Geisha sitting in the taxi.

And the photos in the street were superb. I noticed a big difference between the umbrellas of the Geishas and the umbrellas used by Westerners. What a fun and colorful post. Hope your Sunday is fabulous, dear.

When I saw that you photos were at night and there were tearooms I thought of the Geishas straight away and how amazing it must have been to see them in person 😁. They look so beautiful in their kimonos too. Thanks for sharing your great adventures and Japanese culture! Happy Sunday!
