Rent a kimono or yukata right on Komachi-dori street and stroll around the temples of Kamakura; plan from around 3.000 ¥.
Kamakura, with its ancient temples and quiet streets, is one of the best destinations near Tokyo to stroll dressed in a kimono. At this rental, located on the busy Komachi-dori street, right in the shopping area and a step away from the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine, you choose from a wide variety of kimonos and yukatas and a professional stylist helps you dress, with all the accessories included (obi, zori footwear, bag and underwear); for a supplement you can add a hairstyle. There are plans for women, men and children, so the whole family can take part. With the kimono on you have the day to tour the Great Buddha of Kotoku-in, the Hase-dera temple, the great Zen temples and Komachi-dori itself, and take beautiful photos. The basic plan starts at around 3.000 ¥. It is advisable to book the morning slot to have a better selection and more time to stroll. Kamakura is less than an hour by train from Tokyo, which makes it an ideal day getaway. It is a perfect experience for couples, friends and families who want a special memory.
