Kyoto Yumeyakata Kimono & Yukata Rental Experience

Rent a kimono at Yumeyakata
and stroll the streets of Kyoto

Rent a kimono at Yumeyakata, a kimono rental shop in the Gojo area of Shimogyo, Kyoto. Kimonos are available all year and yukatas in summer, for men, women and children. The kimono, obi, socks and zori are included, so you can arrive empty-handed. Opening hours are 10:00–18:00, with last entry at 17:00 and last return at 18:00.

Choose your favorite kimono

When you arrive, show your confirmation email, fill out a personal information form and choose the kimono color you like. You can freely match an obi and kimono accessories (additional items), and the staff will help if you are unsure. Men's kimonos also come in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Professional staff dress you one-on-one

Any additional items are settled first, then a professional dresser helps you put on the kimono one-on-one. Afterwards, choose a Japanese-style bag made for kimonos to carry your valuables, and leave the rest of your belongings at the shop free of charge. Hair styling and makeup are additional services that require advance reservation.

Head out to explore Kyoto

Once you are dressed, meet your companions in the first-floor lounge and set off. Visit the sights you want, take souvenir photos, and return to the shop by the last return time of 18:00.

※ Kimono experience is not offered to pregnant women; if you strongly wish to participate, you will be asked to sign an agreement.
※ You cannot bring your own accessories (neckpiece, strings, sash band, etc.).
