Daily life of Waplus Nara

Hello and welcome from Waplus Nara –
our kimono rental shop at the Nara Park Bus Terminal
Although the cold days are still with us, March is just around the corner.🌸
In Japan, graduation ceremonies are generally held in March,
and the new school year begins in April with entrance ceremonies.✨
With the arrival of spring, this season becomes a time of graduation and kindergarten graduation,
celebrating important milestones for children and their families.🎉
A graduation or kindergarten graduation is a very special day,
marking a child’s first step toward a new journey.🎵
In Japan, it is customary for parents—especially mothers—
to attend graduation and entrance ceremonies wearing a Houmongi kimono,
which is a formal and elegant traditional kimono suitable for celebratory occasions.👘✨
Formal kimonos such as Houmongi are not only perfect for ceremonies,
but also ideal for taking beautiful photos at shrines and temples.
With its many historic shrines, temples, and scenic spots,
Nara is an especially wonderful place to wear a formal kimono and capture unforgettable memories❣❣
Why not enjoy Nara while wearing a beautiful and elegant Houmongi kimono for this special ✨?

Recommended Houmongi Kimono Styles👘
If you plan to visit shrines and temples,
we recommend choosing a Houmongi kimono in soft, light colors ✨
Gentle tones create an elegant look that is refined and tasteful without being too flashy,
perfectly suited to Nara’s historic atmosphere.
When wearing a formal kimono,
it is important to aim for a graceful and well-balanced style.🎵
≪Coordination Examples》
● Light Green Houmongi Kimono + Beige Obi (Belt)
Add a touch of brightness by choosing orange-toned obijime and obiage,
creating a warm and elegant accent ✨
● White Houmongi Kimono with Soft Purple Patterns
Pair it with a silver obi and a deep pink obiage to create a refined and polished look❣❣
Choose an obijime in muted green with gold accents for a calm and harmonious finish ✨
● Pale Purple Houmongi Kimono
Match it with a gold obi to add a slightly luxurious feel👘✨
Select pink-toned obiage and obijime for a soft and feminine touch 🎵
Wearing a Houmongi kimono on a special and memorable day will add elegance and beauty,
helping you create wonderful memories in Nara ❣❣
Since you are visiting the historic city of Nara,
including world heritage sites like Todai-ji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine,
wearing a Houmongi or Furisode kimono will enhance your experience and make your visit truly unforgettable.⛩

Kimono rental is recommended with advance reservation. ✨
Houmongi and Furisode kimonos are very popular and limited in availability,
so advance reservation is highly recommended ✨
