As Christmas passes, Kyoto enters a season where year-end calm and quiet busyness coexist. The cold wind sweeping through the stone-paved streets and the crisp, dignified winter air gently signal the closing of another year.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store this year.

Each and every encounter

—with guests choosing kimono for sightseeing, shrine visits, anniversaries, and other special occasions—

has been a true source of encouragement for us and a collection of cherished memories we hold dear.

Seeing your smiles as you stroll through the streets of Kyoto in kimono has warmed the hearts of our entire staff time and time again.

As we approach the year’s end,

we are carrying out our annual deep cleaning with gratitude for the past year.

While carefully tending to each kimono, accessory, and every corner of the space,

we reflect on the moments we shared and renew our hopes for the coming year.

In the new year as well,

we will continue to support you with sincerity so that your time in Kyoto becomes a lasting and meaningful memory.



We wish you good health and a peaceful, gentle New Year.
