Kimono Okamoto
Kimono Okamoto rents kimonos in Kyoto with 7 shops. The most used are Kiyomizu, the biggest and one minute from Kiyomizu-dera, and Gion.
Touring with me? I book it for you. You can return the kimono at another of their shops, the next day or at your hotel.
What it is good for in Kansai
- Getting dressed right next to the temple you are visiting.
- Walking around Higashiyama in a kimono and taking photos.
- Returning it at another shop, so you do not have to go back to the start.

My tips
