🍁Experience Kyoto in a Houmongi Kimono – Stroll through Autumn Foliage at Waplus Kyoto👘

Hello! Welcome to Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store 👘✨

Autumn has arrived, and the streets of Kyoto are being painted in vibrant fall colors. 🍁


This season is perfect for exploring Kyoto in a houmongi kimono, where tradition meets seasonal beauty for an unforgettable experience.

Our store is just a short walk from Yasaka Shrine, with famous spots like Kodaiji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, and Gion also within walking distance. Enjoy visiting Kyoto’s scenic autumn spots in elegant kimono style 📸✨

🍁 Autumn Foliage × Houmongi = The Ultimate Fall Outfit

Right now, Kyoto is at the peak of its autumn foliage season.


Red, yellow, and orange leaves create a stunning backdrop, perfectly complementing a stylish houmongi kimono. ✨

Houmongi kimono features:

  • Elegant yet striking designs
  • A variety of patterns and colors
  • Adds a sense of special occasion

Even if you’ve never worn a houmongi before, or have wanted to try it but never had the chance, this is the perfect season to create memories that will last a lifetime 💖

👘 Couples’ Kimono Date is Super Popular 💑❤️

Ladies in houmongi, gentlemen in hakama—this combination is incredibly photogenic on Kyoto’s streets. ✨

Walking on stone-paved paths together feels like a scene straight out of a movie.
Take couple photos and capture your very own “special day in Kyoto” 📷💕

❄ Stay Warm with Heattech – Perfect for Chilly Autumn Days ✨

Autumn mornings and evenings in Kyoto can be quite chilly.
We recommend wearing a thin, warm Heattech or similar thermal innerwear.

Since kimono are styled with a “collar pulled back,” the best options are:

  • Deep U-neck
  • Deep V-neck
  • Tank-top style

These designs are discreet under the kimono, keeping you warm without showing through the collar or sleeves.
Thin but cozy, they make your autumn strolls much more comfortable 🍂
(Uniqlo’s deep U-neck series is especially popular!)

💇‍♀️ Professional Kimono Dressing & Hair Styling

At Waplus Kyoto, we provide:

  • Houmongi kimono dressing
  • Hair styling

Our professional staff will help you choose:

  • The perfect kimono for you
  • Matching obi colors and accessories

Even first-timers can enjoy a stress-free experience and step directly out to Kyoto’s scenic spots 🍁✨
