Daily life of Waplus Nara

Hello and welcome!
This is Kimono Rental Waplus Nara – Nara Park Bus Terminal Store(´꒳`)
Yukata rental is very popular for summer sightseeing in Nara,
walking around Naramachi, summer festivals, and fireworks events 🎆✨
But many first-time visitors often wonder:
“What should I wear under a yukata?”
“Do I need to bring anything?”
“Can I come empty-handed?”
Don’t worry❣❣
There are a few helpful tips to know before your yukata experience that will make your day much more comfortable 🎵
In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know before renting a yukata in Nara,
including innerwear, useful items, and important tips for the day 👘✨

👘 Yukata Rental is Basically “Hands-Free”
One of the biggest benefits of yukata rental is that everything you need is included❣❣
At Waplus Nara, your set includes:
●Yukata 👘
●Obi (belt)
●Traditional sandals (geta)
●Professional dressing service
So basically, you can come empty-handed and still enjoy your yukata experience ✨
Unlike buying a yukata yourself, there is no need to prepare accessories or dressing tools 🎶
Our shop is located right in front of Nara Park 🦌,
making it super convenient for sightseeing right after dressing!

👘 Recommended Innerwear for Yukata
👩 For Women
Recommended items:
●Camisole
●Tank top
●Yukata inner slip
Especially in summer, sweat-absorbing materials are highly recommended for comfort ✨
Also, since some yukata fabrics can be slightly sheer,
beige-colored underwear is the safest choice 👘
👨 For Men
Recommended items:
●V-neck Undergarment
●Quick-drying and moisture-wicking shirt
●Traditional undergarment shorts called “Suteteko”
These help control sweat and support comfort throughout the day🎵
Steteko also prevents the yukata from sticking to the skin and improves ease of movement✨
⚠️ What to Avoid
Please avoid the following:
●Lace-heavy underwear
●Thick or decorated innerwear
●Dark-colored underwear
●High-neck tops
Beige or light colors are best for lighter yukata fabrics 🎵

🎐 Useful Items to Bring on the Day
Even though yukata rental is mostly hands-free,
bringing a few items can make your experience even better:
●Sweat towel (important in Nara summer!) ❣❣
●Band-aids (for geta sandals) 🎵
●Hair accessories ✨
→ We also offer optional hair styling with accessories included
●Portable fan / uchiwa / folding fan 🎐
These are especially useful during festivals,
fireworks events, and walking around Nara Park 🦌

⚠️ Important Tips for Wearing Yukata
🚶 Walk with Small Steps
Yukata has a narrower hem than regular clothing,
so small steps help prevent it from coming undone 👘
⚠️ Be Careful About Stains or Damage
Please be careful when eating or drinking while wearing yukata.
Since this is a rental item, serious stains or damage may require additional charges.
Nara Park and festival areas can be crowded, so please also watch your belongings and surroundings 💦
👟 You Can Wear Your Own Comfortable Shoes
We provide traditional sandals (geta), but they may cause discomfort if you are not used to them.
If you plan to walk a lot around Nara Park, festivals, or fireworks events,
you are welcome to wear your own sandals or comfortable shoes 🎵
Enjoy your yukata experience comfortably and freely 👘✨
