    Especially recommended when you don't want your face to be seen in the picture.💛

    Kimonos and masks! Many people probably have seen fox masks🦊.
    There are many souvenir shops near Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.
    Please try to find your favorite mask… 💕.
    Here are some recommended poses using such masks!

    ・Fox mask in one hand, the other posing a fox face.
    ・Holding it right next to your face, or hiding half of your face with it to make your face look smaller.

    · Various kinds of mask available; white and red fox, rabbit and bear, etc. ✨
    · Antique masks and lace kimonos are a perfect match ♡

    Masks are a great way to remember your trip! How about one for your photo?

    Kyoto's tourist attractions are filled with fashionable cafes and sweets stores ♡.
    How can you not smile when you see sweets in front of you?
    Colorful sweets will add color to your photos and make you look sweeter. ♥
    Take a picture of the sweets in your hand.
    Or take pictures of yourself eating sweets!

    and take a sweet picture during a break🐻.

    A collection of trendy poses

    classic heart pose cannot be missed ♡

    Trendy popular heart poses we would recommend‼
    Here are 3 patterns of heart shots!

    1.Make a heart with your fingers and show your face from the empty spot in the middle. ♡
    It will make your face look smaller❤️and cuter. ♡
    Please try with your friends. ♪

    2.make a heart in front of your face. 🫶
    You can hide part of your face not worrying about your facial expression💞.
    Move your face slightly to the side so that the hair ornaments can be seen.

    You can also make one-handed heart on your cheeks with your friends.
    The key is to keep your faces close to each other's cheeks. ❣️

    ※If you find it difficult to take a selfie, a remote shutter is useful 👏.
    Don't forget to bring it❣️
    Poses like this are also cute and recommended💛↓↓

    Holding your favorite celebrity goods which now is in fashion!

    Kimonos and fave goods are a good match.
    It will definitely give you a smile. ♡
    You can’t have too many photos of your idol.

    Try to hold an acrylic display stand in front of the obi for a cute partial shot ✧₊ 👍
    Cover your face with a fan or put it between the obi behind you 🥰!
    It will be easier to choose a kimono if your fave has a specific color.

    Through-the-mirror shots for a stylish look!

    It's great to take a stylish selfie🪞as long as you have a mirror🫶.
