This is the Basara Kimono Rental Kamakura Komachi-dori store. During the autumn foliage season, there are many temples in Kamakura where you can see beautiful autumn leaves. If you go leaf-viewing in a kimono, you will be filled with a Japanese atmosphere and it will definitely look great on Instagram. How about going leaf-viewing in a kimono in Kamakura in the fall?

If you want to enjoy the autumn leaves, we recommend a retro kimono. While many modern kimonos are flashy, retro kimonos are not too flashy and have a modest design that gives them a certain charm. In addition, many of them are off-white, beige, burgundy, rose, or muted colors, which create a calm atmosphere.


・Meigetsuin Temple

Located about a 10-minute walk from Kita-Kamakura Station, Meigetsu-in Temple is famous for its round windows. The garden seen through the windows looks like a beautiful painting. The paths in the temple grounds are narrow, so at this time of year you can feel as if you are surrounded by autumn leaves.

・Engakuji Temple

This large temple is located right after getting off at Kita-Kamakura Station. It is counted as one of the Five Mountains of Kamakura, and it is said that Natsume Soseki and Shimazaki Toson also practiced Zen here. The grounds are large, so there are many photo spots within the grounds where you can take photos. Why not try looking for your own photo spot?

・Zuisenji Temple

Zuisenji Temple is also known as the "Flower Temple." The reason is that there are flowers all year round. Winter chrysanthemums and winter cherry blossoms bloom in the winter. There is a place called "Momijigatani" near the temple, where maple, ginkgo and maple trees are beautifully colored.

・Hasedera Temple

Hasedera Temple is known for its hydrangeas, but the autumn leaves are also beautiful! The flowers of each season are beautiful, and the three-dimensional autumn leaves created by the difference in elevation between the mountain and the temple are a distinctive feature. When the leaves are at their best, special nighttime viewing is held, and the leaves are lit up at dusk.
