Wearing a hakama isn't just for graduation ceremonies! Let's wear a hakama and go sightseeing in Kyoto in March! We'll introduce you to some recommended spots for a one-day outing plan!
Hello! It's Mo. March is almost here!
March is the time for graduation ceremonies! It's also a slightly lonely season, as you will be separated from your beloved friends after graduating. Many university students will wear hakama to their graduation ceremonies.
However, on the day of the graduation ceremony, things are hectic and you don't actually have time to put on a hakama and go out somewhere.
If you want to take more photos wearing a hakama, why not try it on and go sightseeing in Asakusa?
This time, we will introduce some recommended spots for a day trip plan for those of you planning to visit Kyoto!

10:00 Rent a kimono at VASARA Kimono Rental
13:00 It's White Day, so I want to eat some sweets! If you want to eat some healthy fondant au chocolat, then go to "COCO KYOTO"
15:00 Famous for its cherry blossoms! See the cherry blossoms at Hirano Shrine
17:30 Return the kimono
10:00 Rent a hakama at VASARA Kimono Rental
Japanese clothing is an essential part of any trip to Kyoto!!!
If you are sightseeing in a retro town, you will be able to take better photos that blend in with the Asakusa streetscape if you wear traditional Japanese clothing rather than Western clothes!!!
There aren't many opportunities to wear hakama, are there? That's why, if you've come all the way to Asakusa, why not try wearing a hakama?
Many people go sightseeing wearing kimonos, but you won't see many people sightseeing wearing hakama. The hakama style is like wearing a long skirt over a kimono, so you can walk with wide strides!!! You have to walk with small steps in a kimono, which makes it difficult to walk. Some people find this stressful. However, with hakama you can walk with wide strides, so it's a recommended outfit for those who want to do lots of sightseeing on foot and take great photos wearing traditional Japanese clothing.
At VASARA Kimono Rental, we have the following styles: Hakama Standard, Hakama One-Star, Hakama Retro Modern, and Hakama premium. We also have men's Hakama available.
Your beloved partner will be thrilled to see you looking different than usual.
Just imagining it makes me excited!
13:00 It's White Day, so I want to eat some sweets! If you want to eat healthy fondant au chocolat, go to "COCO KYOTO"
White Day is all about sweets. But many people who are conscious about their health feel guilty about eating chocolate that is bad for them. Recently, my beloved boyfriend told me to lose weight, so I've been trying my best to lose weight!!! For those people, I would like to recommend the chocolate from "COCO KYOTO". At "COCO KYOTO", you can eat organic, gluten-free chocolate that does not contain refined sugar or food additives. The natural sweetness will soothe your mind and body. In the cafe space, you can enjoy elaborate chocolate sweets. Shaved ice is also served in the summer. The recommended dish is the fondant au chocolat. It is filled to the brim with melted chocolate. Its mild and simple taste is popular.

15:00 Famous for its cherry blossoms! See the cherry blossoms at Hirano Shrine
You can enjoy 50 different kinds of cherry blossoms at Hirano Shrine! You should definitely go during the cherry blossom season!
The cherry blossoms at Hirano Shrine are not only beautiful, but also have many rare varieties. While the most famous cherry blossom is Somei-Yoshino, there are also rare varieties such as Nezame, Kocho, Arashiyama, Toranoo, Shogetsu, and Teyowame.
And it's not just rare. There are varieties that bloom early and late, so you can enjoy the cherry blossoms for about a month and a half (from mid-March to early May).
At night, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms. You can see the cherry blossoms at night, wrapped in a warm light, from the cherry blossom garden and main hall. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms in a different way than during the day, so if you have time, we recommend going both during the day and at night.
Hirano Shrine has a history of having been planted there since the Heian period. The cherry blossoms at Hirano Shrine have been loved by many people since the Edo period. Be sure to go and see them for yourself!!

17:30 Return the kimono
The deadline for returning the kimono is 17:30, so be sure to get to the store by around 17:15 to return the kimono!!!
