Have you already visited a shrine for Hatsumode? ⛩️
Some people prefer to wait until the New Year crowds settle before visiting a shrine at a relaxed pace.
Taking a quiet moment to pray for the year ahead, with a calm and refreshed 마음, is always a special experience—no matter how many times you do it.
If you are thinking,
“I love kimono, but I don’t own one and rarely have a chance to wear it…”
kimono rental is the perfect solution for your New Year visit.
Wearing kimono on a special day instantly makes the beginning of the year feel more meaningful and memorable 😊

🌼 Celebrate Hatsumode in a Stunning Furisode (Long-sleeved kimono)
Furisode is a truly special kimono that instantly lifts your spirit when you wear it.
The vivid red of Yasaka Shrine creates a breathtaking contrast with colorful kimono, making it a perfect choice for New Year photos.
Because opportunities to wear furisode are rare, Hatsumode is the ideal occasion.
It is highly photogenic and perfect for capturing unforgettable memories to share on social media 📷✨
🥀 A Refined and Elegant Hatsumode in Houmongi (Formal Kimono)
Houmongi kimono are known for their graceful and refined beauty.
Not too flashy, yet beautifully elegant, they are ideal for adults who want a calm and sophisticated New Year look.
Wearing houmongi naturally straightens your posture and brings a sense of calm dignity as you welcome the new year.

The shrine’s iconic vermilion gate pairs beautifully with kimono, creating the perfect setting for New Year photographs.
❄️ Take Beautiful Photos at Maruyama Park
Maruyama Park, located right next to Yasaka Shrine, is another popular photo spot.
Surrounded by nature, the park enhances the beauty of kimono even more.
Photos taken in the crisp winter air have a quiet, refined atmosphere—memories you will cherish long after your visit.
🍵 Enjoy Kyoto After Your Shrine Visit
After Hatsumode, we recommend enjoying food stalls around the shrine or relaxing at nearby cafes and restaurants.
Warm amazake, traditional Kyoto cuisine, and strolling through the city in kimono all add to the charm of the experience.
Kyoto looks and feels different when explored in kimono.
