Daily life of Waplus Nara

Hello and welcome from Waplus Nara –
our kimono rental shop at the Nara Park Bus Terminal
👘
As December arrives, Nara is finally embracing its winter atmosphere ❄️
Even so, Naramachi still holds traces of autumn.🍂
The red and golden leaves shining against the tiled roofs and lattice windows of the old machiya townhouses create a nostalgic charm unique to this ancient capital 🍁✨
If you plan to take a winter walk through Naramachi,
there’s no better choice than wearing a kimono 👘💖
The calm, historic streets pair beautifully with the elegant silhouette of kimono.
Simply strolling through the quiet alleys can bring a sense of peace to your heart during this season 🍃

🏮 Recommended Spots for Your Naramachi Kimono Stroll ✨
● Around Gangoji Temple
Gangoji, a historic temple registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
is one of the most atmospheric places to visit in Naramachi.
The temple grounds still hold a touch of autumn color,
and the remaining leaves blend beautifully with the quiet winter air,
creating a truly magical scene 🍂
The surrounding machiya cafés and small craft shops also have a charming atmosphere—perfect for dropping by in kimono ☕️

● Naramachi Kōshi-no-Ie (Lattice House)
This traditional machiya townhouse has been carefully preserved in its original architectural style 🏠✨
When you stand in the earthen-floor entrance or the serene courtyard wearing a kimono,
you can capture a photo that feels as if you’ve stepped back in time 📷💕
● Naramachi Nigiwai-no-Ie
A free community space that hosts seasonal exhibitions and local events throughout the year ❣❣
It’s the perfect place to take a short break—
relax on the tatami mats with a warm drink and enjoy a peaceful moment ☕️
Spending some quiet time here is highly recommended 🌸

● Back-Alley Stroll (Sarusawa Pond → Naramachi Street)
One of Naramachi’s greatest charms is its abundance of narrow, winding alleys 🌿
Turn any corner and you’ll suddenly find cozy cafés with lattice windows or charming galleries set inside renovated traditional townhouses 🎵
Walking these alleys in a kimono transforms every scene into a perfect, picture-worthy moment 📸✨
📸✨ Perfect for Photoshoots ✨📸
Naramachi is filled with picturesque scenes—
from stone-paved streets to charming lattice-fronted buildings—
making it a beautiful area where every corner becomes a photo spot 📷💖
During the soft morning or evening light,
the colors of your kimono stand out even more beautifully 👘🌅

🎀 Enjoy a Relaxing Winter Day in Naramachi in Kimono 🎀
