Dress to impress in Kyoto
The Japanese city of Kyoto is reportedly offering free public transport – as well as free entry to its tourist attractions – to anyone who wears a kimono. According to the BBC, the initiative is aimed at promoting the traditional Japanese outfit, which is generally only worn these days on special occasions. Around 20 attractions will reportedly be included in the scheme, including Nijo Castle, Kyoto Tower and a variety of museums around the city. Ami Tsujii, a city official tasked with promoting Kyoto’s traditional industries, is quoted as saying that anyone who does not own a kimono can hire one for around 3,000 yen (USD28) per day. The scheme runs for the next 11 days. Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad
