🍀Start at Yasaka Shrine!🍀

A Picture-Perfect Kyoto Walking Route in an

Authentic Silk Kimono

“Where should I go after renting a kimono in Kyoto?”
“I’m worried about walking all day in a kimono.”

If you’re wondering the same thing, we’d love to introduce one of our favorite sightseeing routes.

At Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store, you’re just steps away from Yasaka Shrine, making it easy to begin exploring Kyoto the moment you’re dressed.

With very little walking required before reaching Kyoto’s most beautiful streets, even first-time kimono wearers can enjoy sightseeing comfortably.

From our shop to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, every corner of this route offers stunning scenery and unforgettable photo opportunities.


🌸 Experience the Beauty of Authentic Silk Kimono

Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store is proudly produced by a traditional kimono merchant.

In addition to standard rental kimono, we also offer a wide selection of

Shoken (100% authentic silk kimono).

Authentic silk has a natural elegance, beautiful sheen, and luxurious texture that makes every

photo look even more special.

If you’ve always dreamed of wearing a genuine Japanese kimono during your trip to Kyoto, this is the perfect opportunity.

Our friendly and welcoming staff will also help you choose the perfect kimono, obi, and accessories

to match your style.

Even if it’s your first time wearing a kimono, you can relax and enjoy the experience with confidence.


⛩ Stop 1: Yasaka Shrine – The Perfect Beginning

As soon as you leave our shop, you’ll find yourself at Yasaka Shrine, one of Kyoto’s

most iconic landmarks.

The vibrant vermilion West Gate is one of the city’s most popular photo spots.

If you visit in the morning, you’ll often enjoy a quieter atmosphere and beautiful photos

without the crowds.

Don’t forget to stop by Utsukushigozensha Shrine, where many visitors pray for beauty and healthy skin.

It’s a lovely place to begin your Kyoto adventure.


🌿 Stop 2: Nene-no-Michi & Ishibei-koji

Next, stroll along the charming Nene-no-Michi pathway before exploring the historic stone-paved

streets of Ishibei-koji.

This peaceful area perfectly captures the timeless beauty of Kyoto.

The elegant atmosphere pairs beautifully with an authentic silk kimono, creating photos that

feel like scenes from a movie.

Traditional wooden townhouses and passing rickshaws provide wonderful backdrops for

memorable pictures.


🍵 Stop 3: Kiyomizu-dera, Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka

Continue your walk toward the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, one of Kyoto’s most beloved sightseeing destinations.

Along Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, you’ll discover charming souvenir shops, traditional cafés,

and delicious matcha sweets.

Take your time browsing local crafts, enjoying Japanese desserts, or simply soaking

in Kyoto’s unique atmosphere.

The route back to our shop is just as picturesque, allowing you to enjoy beautiful scenery throughout your entire walk.


📸 Discover Kyoto’s Most Photogenic Spots in Kimono

The area around Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store is filled with beautiful locations where your kimono will look stunning in photos.

From the vibrant vermilion West Gate of Yasaka Shrine to the charming stone-paved streets of Ishibei-koji, the peaceful Nene-no-Michi, and the historic Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka slopes, every corner offers the perfect Kyoto backdrop.

Each season brings its own unique beauty—cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in early summer, lush green maple leaves in summer, and colorful autumn foliage—making every visit a wonderful opportunity to capture unforgettable memories.

Whether you’re taking photos with your smartphone or booking one of our professional location photo shoots, you’ll be able to preserve beautiful moments surrounded by Kyoto’s timeless scenery.

Take home not only wonderful memories of your trip, but also stunning photos you’ll treasure for years

to come. 📸🌸
