Hey, have you heard of the Sengoku cosplay cafe bar “Hana no Gotoku” in Kyoto’s Sanjo district?

No, I haven’t! What kind of place is it? Sengoku era and cosplay in Kyoto—sounds like such an interesting combination!

It is! I thought it sounded serious because of the Sengoku theme, but apparently, it’s a cosplay cafe bar with staff dressed up in traditional Japanese outfits, as well as anime and game character costumes. Every day is a cosplay day, so there’s always something fresh to see!

That sounds like so much fun! I’d love to check it out.

The traditional Japanese cosplay was so beautiful, and I got to see anime and game characters, too! It was dazzling!

The staff were so friendly and easy to talk to! We got into discussions about cosplay and anime, and we ended up staying longer than planned.
