After the longest rainy season we had this year, the weather has been really hot in August. During the summer break, we had a plan to travel to Okinawa but the trip was cancelled because of the pandemic.
Instead of the summer trip to the southern island, we came up to the idea to stay one night at a luxurious hotel in Tokyo because it would be a rare experience for us living in Tokyo.
So we booked a room at Westin Tokyo in Ebisu. And made a reservation at a sushi restaurant they have.
At the main entrance of Westin Tokyo.
The room we stayed.
The king room with Tokyo Tower in the view.
Of course, it wasn't for any special occasion like anniversary or anything, but I really wanted to wear this brand-new summer formal kimono tailored for myself this spring. This was definitely the best timing for this kimono♡
Homongi (semi-formal) kimono in amethyst with diamonds.
The reason why I ordered this kimono is that the fabric is polyester and can be washed at home.
Summer in Japan has been getting warmer and more humid by year and it has been very uncomfortable to wear a silk kimono which cannot be easily washed or cleaned during summer.
I'm so happy to have an option to wear a washable kimono for formal occasions.
Love this beautiful gradation of purple.
Obi and small things added to the look.
In the garden of the hotel.
Zouris in the matching color.
The sushi dinner was amazing and delicious.
During this stay home period, there have been much less occasions to drink alcohol. But the pairing with white wines and sake was amazing.
After dinner, we had cocktails at the bar.
It was nice to have an unordinary day in Tokyo.
