FAQ
Yes, it is perfectly appropriate and encouraged for foreigners to experience wearing a kimono from Keitosu Kimono Arashiyama. Kimono rental is a popular way for visitors to immerse themselves in Japanese culture. Keitosu Kimono provides professional assistance to ensure you are dressed correctly and respectfully, allowing you to enjoy this unique cultural experience in Kyoto's scenic Arashiyama.
For optimal comfort and a proper fit, it's recommended to wear light, thin clothing underneath, such as leggings or shorts and a thin camisole or T-shirt. Kimonos are layered, so bulky clothing can make the fit uncomfortable. While a bra is typically worn, padded bras or those with underwire might be less comfortable; a soft bralette or no bra can sometimes be preferred for a smoother silhouette, but it's a personal choice.
Keitosu Kimono Arashiyama typically offers full-day rentals, allowing you ample time to enjoy the Arashiyama area. You usually pick up the kimono in the morning and return it by a specified evening time, often around 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This provides a generous period to explore attractions like the Bamboo Grove and Tenryu-ji Temple while dressed in traditional attire.
When walking, take smaller steps to avoid tripping. For stairs, gently lift the hem of the kimono. When sitting, carefully pull the kimono fabric up at the knees before sitting to prevent creasing. For using the restroom, meticulously lift all layers of the kimono (front and back) and secure them with clips or a belt above your waist, taking your time to ensure they are held up.
The pricing structure for a kimono rental experience at Keitosu Kimono Arashiyama varies based on the chosen plan and kimono type. Options range from basic yukata and classic kimono sets to premium lace or formal furisode styles. Most plans typically include the kimono, obi (sash), innerwear, a bag, zori sandals, and professional dressing service. Ladies' plans often include a complimentary basic hairstyle service.
Keitosu Kimono Arashiyama boasts a vast selection with over 800 types of kimonos and accessories. This includes popular trendy lace kimonos, classic vintage designs, and even high-end formal wear like furisode.

Yes, Keitosu Kimono Arashiyama is a Japanese hair salon certified establishment with several professional stylists on staff.
