Experience Kyoto in Kimono





So I took on Kyoto in Kimono. Basically there are plenty of Kimono Rental Shop in Kyoto, but I prefer to book them online first just for sure. I found this Wargo Kimono Rental in Kyoto on their website and booked my reservation online. I picked their place in Arashiyama, because it only across the Saga Arashiyama Station. But they also have branches in many place like Tokyo and Osaka too.

After took the train from Osaka to Kyoto, we arrived at the Rental store, going upstairs to pick my Kimono. They have many selection of Kimono. After I picked mine, they helped me to wear my Kimono and yeah it's so difficult I think. I'm like wearing several layers of fabrics before finally wearing the Outer Kimono itself. They also provide hair do service but make up service is not provide, so I recommend to do the make up first before coming here.

I do love the hair do and the Red color of course


Hubby took this pic, very proud of it, and insist to make it canvas size to put at home

Even though the weather was little bit cold and windy (around 10 degree) I still felt warm in the Kimono, and surprisingly the slippers was also very comfortable at all.

I paid 3.132 yen/day per kimono for an all-inclusive set of undershirt, tabi-socks, obi, hair ornaments, handbag, and other accessories. Hair was done with separate charges.

It was an experience like no other and I would LOVE to do it again. Except that going to the bathroom was a littttlllleeee troublesome.
