Once I got to the shrine I noticed this person in what I do believe is a full on Kimono, she kind of stood out. I wasn't the only person who noticed, as some other foreigners visiting the shrine asked if they could take her picture. As you can see from behind, the obi (belt) looks pretty complicated. It is my understanding that kimonos are difficult to put on and uncomfortable to wear. They're also expensive and you can rent them as you would a tux, but I feel as though she owned that one. At any rate, it certainly makes a statement.
