Self Guided Tour with Kimono Experience in Kyoto
Our location is super close to the train station and also to the famous spots such as Bamboo forest, kimono forest, Togetsukyo bridge, Tenryuji temple. The whole tourism area is compact which won't take so long to walk, every spot is very photogenic and goes well with a kimono look. In this area (Arashiyama), there are not only traditional buildings, but also the amazing nature as well. There are not so many tall buildings so when the weather is good, you see unbelievable wide blue sky together with light green river. We recommend just sitting by the river and do nothing for a while, it can be quite healing experience.
We are a professional kimono shop in Kyoto. In our shop there are many different type of kimonos, including tradition styles, modern styles. We have kimonos both for female and male. We are sure you can find a kimono you like. You can wear the kimono until 6pm of the day.
