7 Best Rental Kimono in Arashiyama Kyoto

Arashiyama in Kyoto is one of the most popular destinations for scenic streets, beautiful sightseeing spots, and quaint atmosphere. Just a short train ride from central Kyoto, the area has many places for a great photo opportunity like the Togetsukyo Bridge that crosses the Katsura River, a wide river running through the area which are particularly beautiful during the fall when it explodes in all imaginable shades of green, yellow and red. And the bamboo grove in the western Arashiyama which has been referred to as one of the most beautiful groves on the planet is a spot not to be missed. Like so, visitors can easily spend a day just strolling around and a classic way to experience Arashiyama and capture memorable photos at the same time is to dress up in kimono. Here are 7 reasonably priced rental kimono shops in Arashiyama for you to consider.
