Begin your kimono experience just a short walk from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station. After selecting a style that suits you, you’ll be dressed by friendly staff in a full traditional set—complete with obi sash, socks, zori sandals, and a kimono bag.

What to expect

Once ready, step out and explore the Arashiyama district at your own pace. Walk through the famous bamboo grove, take in the seasonal beauty of cherry blossoms or autumn leaves, and enjoy peaceful riverside views—all while dressed in classic Japanese attire.

Choose from three kimono styles: a vibrant modern polyester, a soft-toned antique-style Kyotan, or an elegant silk kimono with traditional woven designs.

A simple, authentic way to connect with Kyoto’s heritage in one of its most scenic neighborhoods.
