Wakana:Kyoto

The thoughts of Wakana, a Japanese-made rental kimono store

Wakana, a Japanese-made rental kimono store located in Gion, Kyoto, is a kimono rental store located 30 seconds walk from Yasaka Shrine in Gion. The store was started with the desire to increase the number of beautiful kimono wearers in the city of Kyoto. We offer a selection of elegant patterns, focusing on high-quality “Made in Japan” kimonos, such as silk with a beautiful soft luster. The obi is tied in a “taiko knot” style that looks beautiful from the back! It is popular with people of all ages and those who are serious about authenticity. Come empty-handed and casually change into a rental kimono and enjoy the four seasons of Kyoto.
