Kimono Experience: 8 of the Best Destinations in Japan
-
- When it comes to kimonos, places like Kyoto and Asakusa get a lot of attention. But if you’re traveling in Japan and want a great kimono experience, there are more sights to see that complement this traditional garment. In this guide we’ll recommend the best shops to reasonably rent kimonos and the best spots to explore for the complete kimono experience. Kamakura Kamakura is a popular destination for those seeking a classical vibe. You can take the quaint Enoden Train to one of the storied shrines or soak in the atmosphere with a walk through the retro-style city streets. Either activity will suit your kimono nicely, regardless of the season. Kamakura Best Place : Hokoku-ji TempleA 15-minute walk and bus ride from Kamakura Station, Hokoku-ji Temple is a bit out of the way. But when you’re sipping matcha in the tranquil bamboo gardens, it’ll be more than worth the trip. Hokoku-ji Temple Kawagoe Because nothing says “kimono” like “ancient Edo,” the Koedo district of Kawagoe is a must. Plus the 8, 18, and 28 of every month is Kawagoe Kimono Day, which means special discounts at certain shops for the kimono crowd. You’ll definitely be in good company to soak in the old-fashioned atmosphere of this charming area. Kawagoe Best Place : Kashiya Yokocho, “Penny Candy Alley”An alley famous for its collection of over 20 traditional Japanese candy shops, Kashiya Yokocho is a trip back to childhood in another time. And it won’t break the bank, either. You can buy sweets starting at just 10 yen. Kashiya Yokocho Nikko Look to Nikko for natural beauty and impressive shrines. This popular destination features the Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, and Toshogu Shrine, to name a few of the many attractions across the city. Best Place : Nikko Edomura, “EDO WONDERLAND”A recreation of 17th-century Japan, this family-friendly village is a fun stopover that keeps things lighthearted. Activities include ninja shows, samurai training, and all kinds of cosplay opportunities, plus funhouse type attractions modeled after historical locations. EDO WONDERLAND Kimono Rental Shop : COCON NIKKOThis kimono shop is 6-minutes walk from Tobu Nikko Station and 9 minutes from JR Nikko Station, making it easily accessible to those stopping over in Nikko for a day or two. The shop offers everything you need, so you can come empty-handed and leave in a full kimono 30 minutes later. COCON NIKKO Kanazawa Travel to Kanazawa has been made easy with the addition of the new Hokuriku Shinkansen. Delicious seafood and Japanese sweets are but two of the charms of this old world city. Fancy wearing a kimono and drifting from one lovely cafe to another? Of course you do. And Kanazawa is sure to satisfy. Kanazawa Best Place : Higashi Chaya DistrictEnjoy a stroll through this historical district filled with the wooden latticework of “chaya,” or entertainment houses, and the shops and restaurants that now fill them. You can choose from a selection of local flavors and savor them while you wander about the town. Don’t forget to grab some Japanese sweets at the Café YANAGI-AN , where they offer “Cream Anmitsu” is an excellent combination of cream and sweet red bean paste. Higashi Chaya District Café YANAGI-AN Kyoto Mention “kimono” in Japan and the Kyoto is sure to come up. The internationally renowned city is a hotspot for classical Japanese culture. Come and experience Kyoto’s singular charm for yourself. Kyoto Best Place : RurikoinThis Buddhist temple is open to the public only twice a year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the spring and autumn, making it an extra special experience. That also means that crowds are to be expected. You’ll want to allow plenty of time to see this rare opening of Rurikoin’s gardens, perhaps at their most enchanting during the fall and spring seasons. Rurikoin Kurashiki Kurashiki was originally a castle town in Okayama. What has it rising in popularity, though, are its charming architectural touches, such as buildings with white walls and tile roofs that line the banks of a calm river running through the town. Everything comes together to create that old world atmosphere. Kurashiki Best Place : Kurashiki River Boat RidesTake in the town’s white-walled buildings from a leisurely boat ride. With tickets starting at 500 yen for adults and 250 yen for children, you can sit back as your boat is poled down the relaxing Kurashiki River. It’s an affordable experience you shouldn’t leave Kurashiki without. Kurashiki River Boat Rides Kimono Rental Shop : Kurashiki Kimono KomachiKurashiki Kimono Komachi is a shop where, aside from the usual offerings, it’s also possible to rent kimonos made from the acclaimed Kojima Denim. Step out into the street with a local fashion that will place you firmly in your surroundings. Asakusa Originally the working-class area, or Shitamachi, of Tokyo, Asakusa is now home to both the city’s oldest temple, Senso-ji, and its tallest building, Tokyo Skytree. Tourists to Japan are bound to end up in Asakusa at some point. But that’s just the beginning.

The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse in Bashamichi
-
- Back in the Meiji and Taisho eras, these buildings were Japan’s gold standard of warehouse architecture. Now, they’ve been renovated into multipurpose facilities housing cafes and restaurants. On sunny days, the expansive square facing the Port of Yokohama offers an exhilarating feeling of freedom, but when it’s bad weather out you’ll want to stick to the shopping inside. The nighttime view from the 3rd floor of the city lights reflecting off the wet streets is a priceless perk, though. The Red Brick Warehouse is 12 minutes on foot from Nihon-Odori Station or 14 minutes from Bashamichi Station.
