information If you’re heading to Arashiyama, renting a kimono in central Kyoto and enjoying a little trip is the best choice!



One of Kyoto’s most famous tourist destinations, Arashiyama🎋

Arashiyama, where the harmony of nature and historical architecture is breathtaking, is a place where wearing a kimono truly suits the atmosphere✨

Many people can be seen strolling around in rental kimonos♪

Arashiyama is always crowded throughout the year, not just during peak seasons—it’s simply the norm!
In especially popular areas, it can get so crowded in the afternoon that you can hardly move…

A great recommendation is to rent a kimono in central Kyoto and visit Arashiyama in the morning, when there are still fewer people, making it feel like a mini getaway🚃

If you return to central Kyoto in the early afternoon, you can enjoy other sightseeing spots as well👘



At Tekuteku Kyoto, professional kimono dressers are on hand, so you can stroll around comfortably for hours and enjoy your day to the fullest!

Great access to Arashiyama! Store information for the “Shijo Karasuma Store.”
