They are attire chosen for a full day of walking Kyoto—

the sense of styling, and how naturally it suits the person wearing it.
Our Commitment to Kimono (1)
Silk Antique Kimono You Can Wear All Day
There are not many kimono rental shops in Kyoto
that offer silk antique kimono as something you can comfortably wear all day.
What Tekuteku Kyoto values most is simple:
To walk the city with ease, and to feel naturally suited to the places you visit.
Rather than following trends,
we select kimono with Kyoto’s streets, seasons, and destinations in mind.
That is why they look calm and beautiful in photographs—without feeling over-styled.
Each piece is selected carefully by the owner, one by one.
Modern Kimono with Tekuteku Style
“More approachable.” “More free.”
With this in mind, we also offer a curated selection with modern elements such as lace fabrics and jacquard-woven polyester.
Even then, our standard never changes: it must be comfortable, well-balanced, and wearable for a full day out in Kyoto.
Texture and overall presence are always considered—this is Tekuteku Kyoto’s sense of play.
Obi & Accessories Styling
From classic otaiko musubi, to light and easy hanhaba obi for walking, as well as lace haneri and obidome accessories, we offer flexible styling.
Couples and friends can each enjoy a look that reflects their own taste.

Kimono Dressing
Comfort that lasts all day—Tekuteku Kyoto’s kimono dressing
It’s no exaggeration to say the beauty of a kimono depends on how it is worn.
All kimono dressers at Tekuteku Kyoto regularly pass skill checks.
These evaluations follow strict criteria set by professional instructors, including details such as the finish of the otaiko knot and precise hem alignment.
This system supports kimono dressing that stays comfortable, secure, and elegant—even during long hours of walking.
Kimono Until Evening
Return time is 20:30
（Shijo-Karasuma store only）
We don’t see kimono as something worn only during the daytime.From daytime sightseeing to evening walks after sunset, we want you to enjoy Kyoto throughout the day.
That is why our return time is set a little later than many other shops: 20:30.It’s our way of giving you more time to enjoy Kyoto.(Shijo-Karasuma store only).
From the glow of sunset to the quiet streets at night, please enjoy Kyoto as it changes through the day.
As time passes, the kimono settles gently into your body and becomes easier to wear.
By the end of the day, you may be surprised at how natural it feels.
