Kyoto Station Store

The group is mainly couples, families, and women's groups who are sightseeing in Kyoto. There are also a large number of foreign tourists, and they come from a variety of nationalities. Some of our customers don't speak English, so we use translation tools and gestures to communicate with them, but they're surprisingly easy to understand. It is especially crowded with tourists during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. During summer fireworks and festivals, yukata rental customers gather from all over Kansai. There are many students on school trips from home and abroad.

Of course, there are people who walk to the nearby Higashi Honganji and Toji temples, but since it has good access to many areas within Kyoto city, there are many people who take the bus to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, or JR trains to Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari.

Many people make reservations for the standard kimono plan, but many of them change to a different plan after visiting the store and looking at the extensive lineup. Lately, I've been seeing wargo's Instagram in advance and often being nominated by someone saying, "I want to coordinate this outfit." For those who like a cute style, the pattern of matching an antique kimono with an obi obi is by far the most popular, and for those who like a more mature look, the retro-modern homongi is by far the most popular one, which is a kimono worn with a fukuro obi.

If you are coming for sightseeing, you can make a reservation early and come back in the evening after sightseeing. Since Kyoto Station is nearby, many people arrive by Shinkansen, rent a kimono, leave their luggage, and sightsee empty-handed. If you are wearing it for an evening event such as fireworks, you can return it the next day or have it delivered to your home.

Its appeal points are its easy access to various tourist spots and its easy access from Kyoto Station (it's located inside Kyoto Tower, so you can easily go there, and it's directly connected underground). I think it is very convenient for those staying at hotels near Kyoto Station or those arriving and departing from Kyoto on the same day. The store is large, so you can enjoy choosing a kimono.
