How about a kimono date in Kyoto this Christmas? 🎄✨
— Spend a warm, heart-touching day in the beautifully decorated ancient capital —

Have you already made plans for Christmas?
It’s the most festive season of the year, when the city sparkles with lights and excitement.
This year, why not enjoy a slightly more special Christmas in the timeless city of Kyoto?

In winter, Kyoto’s historical streets blend beautifully with seasonal illuminations, creating calm, picturesque scenery wherever you go.

For your Christmas stroll, we recommend renting a kimono at Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store.
Walking through Kyoto in kimono will make every moment photo-worthy and add a special touch to your day.


🎅💖 Christmas date ideas in kimono

• Street-food stroll
Warm dango and winter Kyoto treats taste even better in kimono.
The steam rising from the food creates a wonderfully nostalgic atmosphere.

• Hands-on experiences
Try pottery, wagashi making, or other traditional activities.
Doing these in kimono makes the memory even more unforgettable.


❄🧣 Winter in Kyoto? No worries — we’ve got warm items ready!

Kyoto can be chilly in winter, but we’ve prepared plenty of cold-weather accessories to keep you comfortable.

  • Scarves & stoles
  • Arm warmers
  • Warm inner layers

Since kimono isn’t as heat-insulating as a coat, we also recommend wearing thermal innerwear or tights.
All plans include zori sandals, but if you’re worried about cold feet, you can explore Kyoto in your own boots too!


✨ Enjoy a slow, romantic Christmas stroll in kimono

Hanamikoji Street and Shinbashi’s stone-paved paths are perfect for a relaxing walk.
In the evening, Kyoto glows softly with lantern lights—creating a romantic atmosphere you’ll never forget.
