Sightsee in Kyoto together in kimono
Wearing kimono and walking through Kyoto together is something many couples and spouses want to do on a trip. From the stone lanes of Gion, to the slope in front of Kiyomizu-dera, to the old streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, the scenery is made for walking side by side. Standing under Yasaka Pagoda, or strolling slowly along the Kamo River, the old capital gives the two of you a sense of occasion.
Whether it is an anniversary, a date in Kyoto, or a walk you decided on the spot, you can each choose a kimono that suits you. You do not have to match exactly, and you can still keep a Kyoto memory that belongs to the two of you. If you want the pair to feel more coordinated, say so ahead of time and mention the colors or style you hope will echo each other. Whether that match is possible depends on the styles actually available.
Besides the kimono itself, many people also arrange a Kyoto photo shoot, and ask a photographer to record the two of you in kimono among the old lanes. Specific styles and pairing depend on what is available in person or on booking confirmation.
