Would you like to take a peek into the private life of Konawa, who is in charge of makeup and dressing? Her recent makeup habits and New Year's events♡

 

Hello ♡ I'm a student of Make Otaku-en.

I think I am the one in charge of makeup and dressing.

Before, I wanted to have a face like a foreigner with deep features, so I used to wear half-Japanese makeup.

I was addicted to it and tried my best to look beautiful and mature, but...

Recently, maybe influenced by K-POP, she has a lovely, shiny skin like a Korean.

I'm trying my best to be like her. I also use warm colors for my eyeshadow.

I started using it a lot (this is entirely due to Sono-san's influence).

My makeup and style changes completely depending on my mood that day...

My repertoire has been expanding and I feel like it's become more fun these days.

This time I'd like to share lots of stories about my private life ♡

Wow, it's already mid-January. Time flies even though the previous year has just passed!!!

What did you all do over the New Year holidays?

My New Year's holiday was extremely fulfilling.

I went to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine for the countdown.

There were so many people that it was past midnight before we could get in, so we welcomed in 0 while waiting in line (lol).

There were lots of food stalls set up, we prayed, drew our fortunes, and then climbed to the top.

There were more stairs than I expected and I was exhausted, but the moment I reached the top

There was a place where I could see the night view, and seeing it instantly blew away all my fatigue.

It was hard to go down the stairs again, but...

On the 1st, relatives gathered together and enjoyed the New Year's feast together.

On the 2nd, I went to Heian Shrine in Kyoto with my relatives. There were also many food stalls there.

I went to pray at a shrine (I usually decide where to go based on food ♡)

We also had a New Year's party!!! And we went on a three-day, two-night trip to Wakayama!!!

I stayed near Shirahama, and there are many sightseeing spots around there.

I had a great time!!!!

On the first day, I arrived in Wakayama at around 4 o'clock, and after checking in to the hotel,

I went to Toretore Market. You can have a seafood BBQ just by buying ingredients.

There is also a food court, which is a must-see for seafood lovers!!! I also watched Shirahama as the sun was setting. 

On the second day, I decided to go to Adventure World.

I was really looking forward to the closing day, so I was pretty disappointed.

I pulled myself together and searched for a good place nearby, and found Energy Land, where the people looked big.

I decided to go to a place where the paintings stand out.

I had so much fun (The inside is still like an elementary school student.)

We also went to Senjojiki, a famous place in Wakayama. Despite some mishaps, it was a fulfilling experience!!!

On the third day, we went to Marina City!!

Inside are the Kuroshio Market, Porto Europa, and a theme park.

It really felt like a foreign land and it was perfect for Instagram!!!

There weren't many people on the Ferris wheel at the time, so we were given a special ride on the only one that was completely transparent.

I said I wanted to ride it, but when I actually did, I was scared to look down...

This concludes the three-day trip and the work begins.

The afterglow of having fun makes me want to work hard. This is what happened to me during my vacation.

I feel the same way about those who come to Kyoto for travel or sightseeing and visit GION AYA.

I hope this will be the case.Maiko Experience GION AYA I'm glad it was fun.

It was a good memory, you can think of anything you want.

The support of our customersMaiko experienceIt was during the New Year holidays that I realized that it would be nice if I could do this.

Thank you for listening to the end.
