Winter Kimono Rental in Nara ❄ | Stay Warm with Our Cozy Tips & Items 🧣

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,

or with the friendly deer in Nara Park — all while dressed in a beautiful kimono📸✨

 

If you’re planning a kimono rental in Nara,

we highly recommend Waplus Nara – Nara Park Bus Terminal Store✨

Located right in front of Nara Park, you can meet the deer as soon as you change into your kimono🦌

 

Both Tōdaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine are within walking distance❣❣

And with its convenient location near the station, access is super easy🎶

 

At Waplus Nara, we offer a wide selection of kimonos —

from vibrant modern designs to elegant classics, solid colors, and delicate lace styles❣❣

You’ll also find a variety of beautiful hair accessories and decorative items to complete your look✨

 

Choosing your kimono and accessories is one of the most enjoyable parts of the rental experience (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡

But don’t worry if you’re not sure what suits you best❣❣

Our friendly staff will be happy to help you find the perfect coordination for your special day✨
