Kyoto to offer kimono wearers free subway, bus rides for 11 days
KYOTO — Kyoto will offer free subway and bus rides for anybody wearing kimono from Friday over an 11-day period to promote the Japanese traditional costume and the local textile industry, the city authorities said Monday.
Free admission to some tourist attractions, including Nijo Castle, Kyoto Tower and some museums, will also be available for kimono wearers during the period, and a kimono fashion show and kimono flea market are also planned. Free tickets for the transportation and tourist facilities will be available in subway stations, buses and hotels in the city.
That's a good promotional type of idea. I wonder if it counts for gaijin as well.
