Hello everyone ♡
I'm Konawa, in charge of makeup and dressing at the Maiko Experience Center GION AYA 😊
Last time, we had 10 minutes of free photo shoot time to see what kind of photos we could take.
We have introduced the "Tsuboniwa Edition", but this time we will introduce the " Entrance "
Let me introduce it to you ~ ♪
So, please take a look ~✨

↑↑↑ Start here ↑↑↑
Speaking of the entrance, photos of someone passing through a noren curtain are becoming a standard!
A photographer can only take photos of the entrance if you choose a plan that includes outdoor photography.
If you are thinking of taking photos other than the outdoor photography plan, please try taking photos during this free photography time ♡

Scenes where they come out, scenes where they enter, with or without eye contact
You can take photos with such different atmospheres 💓

GION AYA is surrounded by rows of Kyoto townhouses,
You can take photos in a Kyoto-like streetscape.

It is a narrow road with depth, so the photo itself
It gives depth and makes for beautiful shots ✨
