Teru Teru Bozu



June is a rainy season in Japan.

When it is a rainy day, we make "teru teru bozu(てるてる坊主)" which is traditional hand-made doll made of white paper and hang it outside of window by a string.
It looks like a ghost.
But we believe that they have a special power to bring good weather and stop a rainy day.

If you are from a rainy city such as London, try to make and hang it outside of window.
It might stop a rainy day and you could go out.


The backpacker's hostel is in Kyoto, located in its historical district, Gion.
Good access with buses and train lines. The center of Kyoto.
Please contact us, if you want to book our hostel.
