As autumn deepens, the streets of Kyoto transform into a beautiful landscape of vibrant reds, oranges, and golden yellows.
When people think of autumn in Kyoto, the first thing that comes to mind is undoubtedly the stunning autumn foliage. Historic shrines and temples, charming stone-paved streets, and colorful maple leaves create a magical atmosphere that can only be experienced during this special season.
Why not enjoy autumn in Kyoto in a slightly different way?
Our recommendation is to explore Kyoto dressed in a beautiful traditional Japanese kimono, surrounded by breathtaking autumn leaves!
Today, Waplus Kyoto would love to introduce some of the best ways to enjoy Kyoto in autumn.

The Perfect Combination: Autumn Leaves and Kimono!
Kyoto offers countless breathtaking spots that will make you want to take photos everywhere you go.
Imagine walking through the streets in a beautiful kimono, with trees covered in brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow all around you. It feels just like stepping into a scene from a movie!
One of our favorite areas is the Yasaka Shrine area, where you can experience the traditional charm of Kyoto.
The combination of stone-paved streets, traditional townhouses, historic temples, and colorful autumn leaves looks absolutely stunning with a kimono.
Choose your favorite kimono and capture unforgettable memories of Kyoto in autumn!
For example, you can visit Yasaka Koshindo Temple, famous for its colorful kukurizaru (decorative monkey balls), or explore the area around Yasaka Pagoda, one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks.
The combination of historic architecture and traditional kimono makes for wonderful photo opportunities.
Even a short stroll through this area will allow you to experience the unique charm of Kyoto.
Another must-visit destination is Kiyomizu-dera Temple, one of Kyoto’s most popular sightseeing spots.
In autumn, the trees throughout the temple grounds and surrounding areas turn beautiful shades of red and gold, creating spectacular scenery.
Walking along the charming streets of Kiyomizu-zaka, Ninenzaka, and Sannenzaka in a kimono is highly recommended.
You can also enjoy local street food, browse traditional souvenir shops, and discover the beauty of old Kyoto along the way.

Enjoy Styling Your Kimono for Autumn!
Autumn is the perfect season to enjoy dressing up in a beautiful kimono!
Choosing colors that reflect the atmosphere of the season will make your outfit look even more beautiful against the autumn foliage.
Here are some of our recommended colors:
- Red and Burgundy: Beautiful autumn colors that complement the vibrant maple leaves.
- Mustard Yellow and Beige: Elegant, warm tones for a sophisticated look.
- Deep Green: A refined color that blends beautifully with autumn scenery.
- White and Ivory: Soft, elegant colors that make your kimono stand out against the colorful leaves.
Retro patterns and Taisho Romantic-style kimono outfits are also very popular!
Pay attention to the details, too. Choose accessories such as an obi belt and a stylish handbag to create your own unique kimono look.
