👘 Enjoy Kyoto in Kimono in October♪ Recommended Kimono Rental for the Changing Season

Hello!

We are Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Shop, a kimono rental shop in Kyoto 👘✨

As the seasons gradually change in Kyoto, the city begins to take on a more autumn-like atmosphere in October.

While many visitors enjoy wearing yukata in Kyoto through September, October marks the seasonal change from yukata to kimono.

“ I want to explore Kyoto in a kimono in autumn.”

“Since I’m visiting Kyoto, I want to enjoy wearing traditional Japanese clothing that suits the season.”

October is the perfect time to make those wishes come true 🍁

In this article, we’ll introduce how to enjoy kimono rental in Kyoto in October.

🍁 October in Kyoto: From Yukata to Kimono

As October arrives, you can gradually feel the atmosphere of autumn throughout Kyoto.

With cooler mornings and evenings and more comfortable daytime temperatures, October is a wonderful time to enjoy walking around Kyoto in a kimono.

At our shop, from October, we focus on kimono rentals rather than yukata rentals.

You can choose from a variety of styles, including komon, antique kimono, and lace kimono.

Whether you are looking for:

  • A kimono that feels perfect for autumn
  • A Kyoto-inspired look for photos
  • Something different from what you usually wear

there are many ways to enjoy creating your own kimono style ✨

👘 What Kind of Kimono Is Recommended for Autumn in Kyoto?

In October, kimono in calm, autumn-inspired colors can beautifully complement the atmosphere of Kyoto.

Brown, deep red, muted green, and other rich colors can create a lovely autumn look 🍂

Of course, bright colors and elegant patterns are also wonderful choices.

Your overall look can change depending on the combination of the kimono, obi, and accessories, so you can enjoy creating a style that feels uniquely yours.

Not sure which kimono to choose? Take your time and enjoy finding your favorite one ♪

⛩️ Explore Yasaka Shrine and Gion in Kimono

Our shop is located just a short walk from Yasaka Shrine and is conveniently located for exploring Gion.

After changing into your kimono, why not start your walk at Yasaka Shrine?

You can then continue through the streets of Gion or head toward Nene-no-Michi, enjoying traditional Kyoto scenery along the way.

The Higashiyama area, with its stone-paved streets and historic buildings, is especially beautiful with a kimono 📷✨

In October, you can enjoy a more relaxed and autumn-like atmosphere than in summer while taking a leisurely stroll through Kyoto.

📸 Capture Your Kyoto Memories in Kimono

When traveling in Kyoto in autumn, wearing a kimono and taking photos is another wonderful way to make lasting memories.

From Yasaka Shrine and the streets of Gion to the wider Higashiyama area, there are many beautiful places to take photos.

You can coordinate your kimono looks with friends or choose colors and styles that complement each other as a couple.

Why not capture your special Kyoto memories while dressed in kimono? 😊
