Rent a kimono or yukata and stroll among the deer of Nara park and Todai-ji, with the option of a photo session; from around 3.000 ¥.
Strolling through Nara park dressed in a kimono, surrounded by deer and with the great temples as a backdrop, is an experience as beautiful as it is photogenic. At this rental you can choose from hundreds of kimonos and yukatas of different patterns, with all the accessories included (obi, footwear and bag), and the option to add a hairstyle, make-up and a photo session outdoors or in a studio. With the kimono on you have the day to tour the park, feed the deer, visit Todai-ji and the Great Buddha and get lost in the historic lanes of Naramachi. The basic experience starts at around 3.000 ¥ and rises according to the extras and the photo session; if you return the clothes after 18:00 a small supplement usually applies. It is advisable to book the morning slot to have more leeway and a better selection of garments. The pickup point is a few minutes' walk from Kintetsu Nara station, very close to the park. It is a perfect plan for couples and for those who want a special memory of Nara.
