You Can Still Rent Yukata in September! Tips for Enjoying Kyoto Comfortably🎐

Hello!
We are Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store 😊

Now that September has arrived, you may be wondering, “Is yukata season already over?” or “Should I wear a kimono or yukata when visiting Kyoto in September?”

The good news is that Kyoto can still be quite hot in September, making yukata a great choice for sightseeing!

At Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store, you can still enjoy yukata rental throughout September

In this article, we will introduce some helpful tips for enjoying Kyoto comfortably in yukata, including ways to stay cool during your sightseeing trip✨

Kyoto Is Still Hot in September!

Although September may bring the image of autumn, Kyoto can still have many warm days, especially during the daytime.

When sightseeing in Kyoto, many visitors enjoy walking around popular areas such as Yasaka Shrine, Gion, and Kiyomizu-dera. Choosing comfortable clothing is important for enjoying your trip while staying as cool as possible.

That is why we recommend wearing a yukata

With its light and comfortable feel, a yukata is perfect for enjoying Kyoto’s beautiful streets while making the most of your late-summer trip😊

You Can Still Rent Yukata in September♪

Some people may think that yukata season ends in August, but Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store offers yukata rental throughout September!

With the summer heat still lingering in Kyoto, September is also a wonderful time to enjoy sightseeing in yukata.

Choose your favorite from a variety of cute and elegant designs and enjoy exploring Kyoto in your own special style✨

Yukata rental is perfect for friends, couples, and families as well♪

Tip ① Start Your Sightseeing Early in the Morning

During the warmer season, we recommend starting your Kyoto sightseeing in the morning before temperatures become too high.

After changing into your yukata, take a relaxing walk around Yasaka Shrine and Gion. The morning is also a wonderful time to take beautiful photos in Kyoto’s charming streets📷✨

Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store is conveniently located for visiting Yasaka Shrine and the Gion area!

Enjoy a relaxing yukata stroll through Kyoto’s beautiful traditional streets.

Tip ② Stay Hydrated!

When sightseeing in Kyoto, you may walk more than you expect, so don’t forget to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

Especially during the daytime, we recommend taking regular breaks while exploring.

There are many cafés and places to rest around the Gion area, so if you start to feel hot, don’t push yourself. Take a break and relax somewhere cool☕✨

Tip ③ Make Good Use of Shade and Indoor Spots♪

Instead of walking outdoors continuously, using shaded areas and indoor spots can help you enjoy Kyoto more comfortably during warm weather.

After exploring Yasaka Shrine or the Gion area, taking a break at a café or including indoor attractions in your sightseeing plans is also a great idea♪

During the hottest hours of the day, take some time to relax before heading out again later in the afternoon or evening to enjoy Kyoto’s beautiful streets✨

For an Even More Comfortable Visit♪

If you are concerned about the heat, we also recommend preparing items such as cold drinks, a towel, or a small ice pack before your trip.

When using an ice pack, please wrap it in a towel and avoid placing it directly against your skin for a long period of time.

Take plenty of breaks and enjoy your September yukata experience in Kyoto at a comfortable pace♪

Choose Slightly More Relaxed Colors for Your September Yukata♡

For your September yukata style, bright summer colors are always beautiful, but choosing slightly more relaxed or muted colors can also be a wonderful option.

Muted colors and deeper shades can create a slightly more autumn-inspired look while still enjoying the warm weather🍂

Not sure which yukata to choose? Please feel free to ask our staff for help♪

We will be happy to assist you in choosing a yukata and coordinating a style that suits you😊

Enjoy Gion and Yasaka Shrine in Yukata!

One of the great things about Waplus Kyoto Yasaka Shrine Store is its convenient location for exploring popular Kyoto sightseeing spots, including Yasaka Shrine and Gion✨

After changing into your yukata, take a relaxing stroll through Kyoto’s beautiful streets♪

As summer gradually transitions into autumn, Kyoto in September offers its own unique charm.

Even in September, you can still enjoy yukata rental in Kyoto!

Create wonderful memories during your Kyoto trip by wearing your favorite yukata and exploring the beautiful areas around Gion and Yasaka Shrine♡

We sincerely look forward to welcoming you!
