Kyoto Station Kimono Rental & Ichinenzaka Matcha Experience - Taxi Transfer Included

Choose and wear your own kimono
at a shop in front of Kyoto Station

Your experience starts at MK Kimono Rental Miyako Miyabi, just a minute from Kyoto Station. Choose a kimono (yukata in summer) and obi to create your own combination, and professional staff will dress you. The obi belt, socks, shoes, bag, undergarments and everything else you need are included, and men also receive a haori jacket in winter.

English-speaking staff help you throughout the experience, so it is easy even for first-timers. Free luggage storage is also available.

Ride a taxi to a café in Ichinenzaka

Once dressed, take a taxi to Cafe 362 in Ichinenzaka near Kodai-ji Temple. A one-way taxi from Kyoto Station to the Kiyomizu area is included, making the transfer quick and easy.

Whisk your own matcha in a tatami room

In the tatami room of a renovated traditional house, your host gives a short introduction to the history of matcha. After watching a brief tea demonstration, you whisk and drink your own matcha with step-by-step guidance and enjoy two Japanese sweets.

Stroll the streets of Kiyomizu in your kimono

After the tea experience, walk freely around the streets near Kiyomizu-dera in your kimono and take photos against Kyoto’s traditional shops and wooden houses. You can return the kimono at the tea venue or go back to the Kyoto Station shop to change. Return transportation is not included.
