Kyoto Gion Store

The group is mainly couples, families, and women's groups who are sightseeing in Kyoto. Since it is located in the middle of Gion and has a lot of foot traffic, there are many customers who suddenly want to buy a kimono in front of the store and come into the store. Since there are many different nationalities, translation tools are essential, but when I show them how to coordinate my torso and explain it to them, they often say, ``This is good.'' During the Gion Festival, some people rent yukata in groups. During the school trip season, there are many student groups.

Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, and Minamiza are close by, so there are many people going sightseeing, going to the theater, or just walking around the Gion area and taking photos.Also, Keihan's Gion-Shijo Station and Hankyu's Kawaramachi Station are also nearby. There are quite a few people who rent them in Gion and take the train to Arashiyama or Fushimi Inari.

Foreigners tend to choose flashy kimonos, but recently more and more people are choosing retro-modern homongi and antique kimonos. People who go to the theater often choose to wear homongi.

Those who are heading to nearby tourist spots often rent a kimono in the afternoon after eating, take a walk around the area, and return in the evening. Of course, those who want to enjoy kimono sightseeing at a leisurely pace, or those who are heading to sightseeing spots such as Arashiyama by train, should make reservations in the morning.

Keihan's Gion-Shijo Station and Hankyu Kawaramachi Station are within walking distance, and you can access the area from Keihan without getting wet in the rain. Yasaka Shrine and Minamiza are also nearby, so I think it's a very convenient location for those who want to rent a kimono at a tourist spot and go sightseeing empty-handed. Our store is large and we have a large selection of kimonos, so you can enjoy choosing your kimono and obi.
