Production press conference of "Kamo, Kyoto e Iku"

The production press conference of FujiTV spring 2013 drama "Kamo, Kyoto e Iku" was held on 3 April at Toei's studio in Uzumasa, Kyoto, which was attended by cast members Matsushita Nao, Shiina Kippei, Horiuchi Keiko, Katase Rino, Wakamura Mayumi and Daito Shunsuke. The drama will begin its run from 9 April at 9pm on Tuesdays.

Matsushita plays the role of Ueba Kamo who has to quit her high-flying job at the Ministry of Finance so that she can become the lady boss of the traditional ryokan left behind by her mother. Filming will be done entirely in Kyoto for four months and costume and set fees come up to about JPY 100m especially since the actresses will be wearing order-made kimonos costing about JPY 25m. The set of the ryokan cost JPY 30m to produce which includes the garden and the lady boss' room. Even the food featured in the drama are all made from expensive ingredients amounting to JPY 10m. As such, these costs actually make this drama the most expensive modern drama shot at the Toei studio in Kyoto.
