Kyoto – Kimono Tour

"Are there some memories that make you smile when you think of them?" – Sodagreen, "Autumn: Story"

The kimono is Japan's most iconic garment, worn only on important occasions to signify respect.

Unlike Western-style clothing that emphasizes glamorous curves, the kimono embodies a simple and elegant spirit.

Like cherry blossoms in full bloom, it is elegant yet striking.

This time, Fun Bar offers a Kyoto kimono experience tour where a kimono expert will tailor an elegant kimono look for you.

Choose from nearly a hundred styles for both men and women, and women can also choose from six classic hairstyles to transform your style.

After getting dressed, stroll through the streets of Kyoto and explore this beautiful city at your leisure.

Suggested Itinerary:

[Route 1] Philosopher's Path
A quiet path stretching along the Lake Biwa Canal from Ginkaku-ji Temple to Wakaoji Temple is famous for being the place where the renowned Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida often wandered in contemplation. Nearly 300 Kansetsukura cherry trees line the riverbank. In spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, strolling through them in an elegant kimono, the falling petals creating a breathtaking scene, makes you feel like you're stepping into a beautiful painting.

[Route 2] Five-Slope Stroll
From Yasaka Shrine all the way to Kyoto's renowned Kiyomizu-dera Temple, there are five ancient stone slopes you shouldn't miss.
The first is Nene-no-Michi, named in honor of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife. Nene-no-Michi is wider than the other slopes, offering a chance to spot geisha.
The road to Ninenzaka leads through a narrow alley. Be sure not to overlook Ishibe-koji, a charming old path steeped in Japanese charm. Hidden among these winding alleys are many high-end restaurants. Perhaps you're tempted to experience authentic Japanese cuisine?

Back on the main Ishibe-no-Michi, you'll find charming little shops and affordable restaurants along Ninenzaka, perfect for a break if you feel tired. Sanningzaka is named after the "Koyasu Pagoda," a place dedicated to praying for safe childbirth. Sanningzaka is mostly stone steps, so be careful when walking. Willow trees line the path, their swaying branches adding a leisurely atmosphere.
Finally, Kiyomizu-zaka, connecting to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, is the busiest section of the Gojo Slopes. A variety of shops are inviting, and there's even a rickshaw ride along the slope—a great experience if you have some free time!
