Overview
This is a special activity where you can wear a silk kimono and experience traditional Japanese dance. Choose your favorite from about 800 kimonos; after dressing, simple hair styling and sandals (zori) are provided. Afterward, you can explore Kyoto in your kimono. The rental shop also has two Shiba Inu dogs, popular worldwide, so you can meet these adorable dogs. Once dressed, you'll head to the dance venue to enjoy Japanese green tea and seasonal sweets while learning about Nihon Buyo (Japanese classical dance). Wearing a beautiful kimono, sipping tea, and tasting sweets creates a special moment to experience Japanese culture. After the introduction, you’ll learn basic postures, graceful walking, fan usage, and simple choreography. Songs often reflect Japanese culture, allowing you to connect with tradition while dancing. You can also record videos to capture wonderful memories.
