Daily life of Waplus Nara
Hello and welcome from Waplus Nara –
our kimono rental shop at the Nara Park Bus Terminal
As November draws to a close, you can start to feel a hint of winter in the air here in Nara❄.
The autumn leaves around Nara Park and Tōdaiji Temple are reaching their peak colors,making it the perfect season to enjoy a refreshing stroll or some relaxing sightseeing in the crisp, clear air✨.
However, many visitors often ask,
“Isn’t it cold to rent and wear a kimono in winter?” ❣❣
No worries! In this post, we’ll share our best winter kimono rental tips and introduce some warm and cozy items 🧣👘
so you can stay comfortable and enjoy your Nara winter sightseeing to the fullest 🎵.

🧣 Stay Cozy with Scarves & Shawls — Keep Your Neck Warm in Style!When it comes to classic winter accessories, nothing beats a scarf or shawl✨
Because kimonos have an open neckline, it’s easy for cold air to sneak in🧣
Simply keeping your neck warm can make a big difference in how cozy you feel,
so a scarf is our number-one recommendation for staying warm in a winter kimono❣❣
Choose a simple solid color or a traditional Japanese pattern that matches your kimono —
it’ll not only keep you warm but also complete your look beautifully (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡
At our shop, scarves and shawls are available for free rental (limited stock)❣
Of course, you’re also welcome to bring your own favorite one🧣✨
🧤 Keep Your Hands Warm with Stylish Gloves!
Winter winds in Nara Park can be quite chilly,
and your hands may get cold while taking photos or feeding the friendly deer💦
That’s when gloves become your best friend — both practical and stylish🎵
Long gloves offer extra coverage up to your arms and add an extra layer of warmth❣❣
White or black gloves go well with any kimono,
and for antique-style kimonos, brown tones are a lovely match♪

👚 Stay Warm with Heattech and Thermal Innerwear❣❣
When renting a kimono, you’ll often wear fewer layers than in your everyday clothes,
so thermal innerwear like Heattech is an absolute must✨
Choose a V-neck or U-neck style with a wider neckline —
this keeps you warm while staying invisible under your kimono collar (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡
These days, there are many lightweight yet high-performance inner layers that provide excellent warmth.
Preparing them in advance will make your Nara kimono sightseeing even more comfortable🎶
🔥 Use Pocket Warmers (Kairo) to Keep the Cold Away❣❣
For chilly hands and feet, disposable heating packs (called kairo in Japan) are perfect⛄
Tuck one inside your kimono or in your pocket to stay cozy and comfortable✨
You can easily buy them at convenience stores throughout Nara,
so be sure to grab a few before you start your winter sightseeing adventure🎶
👢 Don’t Forget to Keep Your Feet Warm❣❣
When wearing a kimono, keeping your feet warm is just as important (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡
We recommend wearing leggings or thermal innerwear underneath✨
If you’re wearing zōri (traditional sandals), you’ll need to wear tabi socks —
but leggings designed to work with tabi are very convenient⛄
On especially cold days, pairing boots with an antique-style kimono is also popular❣❣
It’s both stylish and practical, perfect for walking comfortably on Nara’s stone-paved streets🎶

🦌 Enjoy Kimono in Wintertime Nara♪
Winter in Nara is one of the best seasons for sightseeing —
the air is crisp and clear, and the crowds are smaller,
making it easy to explore famous spots at your own pace🎵
Capture unforgettable photos at Tōdaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine,
