Recommended retro kimono rental outfits for winter in Arashiyama!

Hello! This is Rikawafuku Arashiyama Store. The cold days are still continuing, so please take care of your health.

This time, we rented a popular antique kimono this winter at Rikawafuku Arashiyama Store and had a photoshoot 📷!

We’re also introducing a trendy café that recently opened in Arashiyama, so please check it out for reference♡

The plan we used this time is the Kyoto Kimono Rental Hair Set Student Discount Plan.

Soft tones × not-too-simple kimono patterns are adorable

It’s an antique kimono with calm gray and green tones, but the small floral pattern makes the coordination not too simple!

By adding accessories such as an embroidered collar, tulle, obi decorations, and a bag, the look becomes even cuter.
※Options can also be added on the day.

Since Arashiyama is a nature-rich area, antique and retro kimonos look great in photos.
