Try a men's kimono in Kyoto
Men's kimono is known for clean, composed lines, and it looks natural on Kyoto's old streets. The stone streets of Gion, the slope before Kiyomizu-dera, and the old buildings of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka echo its colors. Under Yasaka Pagoda, or walking slowly along Hanamikoji, traditional dress and the old capital meet.
Alone, or with a partner, family, or friends, a men's kimono can be a special part of the trip. Couples can pair it with a women's kimono or a couple plan and share one schedule. Friends can change together, walk and talk, and keep shared memories. A photo session is often arranged as well, so a photographer can take a substantial set of keepsake photos in the old lanes.
From a calm traditional look to a cleaner modern one, there are several men's kimono choices. The exact style is confirmed on site or by reservation, and you can decide by preference after you arrive.
