Enjoy a Yukata in the Evening 👘
Kyoto is still a wonderful place to enjoy wearing a traditional Japanese yukata even in the second half of August. 👘✨
“Kyoto must be so hot in summer…”
“I’m a little worried about walking around in a yukata for a long time…”
If you have these concerns, why not enjoy Kyoto in a yukata from the late afternoon into the evening?
As the sun begins to set, the temperature is often more comfortable than during the hottest part of the day, making it a lovely time to explore the city and take beautiful photos in your yukata.
From the traditional streets around Yasaka Shrine and Gion to the lively atmosphere of Shijo Kawaramachi, you can experience a different side of Kyoto while enjoying the unique charm of Japanese summer. 🎐
Find Your Favorite Yukata at Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store 👘
At Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store, we offer a wide selection of yukata perfect for summer sightseeing in Kyoto.
Choose from a variety of styles, including bright and charming designs, elegant colors and patterns that beautifully complement Kyoto’s traditional streets, and sophisticated yukata in calm, mature tones.
Your yukata can look completely different depending on how you coordinate it with your obi and accessories.
Not sure which yukata suits you best?
Looking for something special to make your Kyoto trip even more memorable?
Our friendly staff are happy to help you choose a yukata and coordinate your obi and accessories according to your style and preferences. 😊
Our store is conveniently located just a short walk from Yasaka Shrine, so once you are dressed, you can head straight out to explore Gion and the beautiful streets of Kyoto.

Enjoy Kyoto’s Evening Atmosphere with Next-Day Yukata Return 🌙
For summer sightseeing in Kyoto, we recommend heading out in the late afternoon, when the hottest part of the day begins to ease.
At Waplus, you can also choose our next-day return option for an additional ¥1,100.
This is especially convenient if you would like to:
- Enjoy dinner while still wearing your yukata
- Take photos around Gion after sunset
- Take a leisurely evening stroll through Kyoto
- Enjoy Kyoto’s streets at night without rushing back to the store
Imagine walking along the atmospheric stone-paved streets of Gion in your yukata, visiting Yasaka Shrine, or enjoying the evening atmosphere along the Kamo River around Shijo.

Kyoto feels completely different after sunset, and wearing a yukata adds an extra touch of Japanese summer charm to the experience. ✨
Take a Refreshing Break with Cool Japanese Sweets 🍧
One of the best ways to enjoy Kyoto’s hot summer is with a refreshing kakigori (shaved ice) or another cool Japanese summer dessert.
Around Shijo Kawaramachi and Gion-Shijo, you will find many charming cafés and traditional sweet shops where you can take a relaxing break during your sightseeing.
Enjoy fluffy shaved ice topped with seasonal syrups, or try a Kyoto-inspired dessert made with rich matcha.
Taking a break with a refreshing summer treat while dressed in a yukata is a simple pleasure that can become one of the most memorable moments of your Kyoto trip. 🍧✨

We would like to help many customers smile through kimono rental.
I love spending time listening to customer requests and proposing kimono coordination and deciding on hair styles!
I am particularly good at hair styling, so please leave it to me to create the currently popular feminine hair.
I'll make it look cute!
My hobbies are music, movies, and shopping!
Please come and visit Waplus Kyoto!
We will suggest cute coordination!
