Tokyo
Tokyo is widely known and respected for its impressive metropolitan areas and cutting-edge technology, but there are plenty of places that exude a traditional atmosphere.

There’s no better way to stroll through this area than in a head-turning kimono!

Sure, there are many throughout Japan- but Kyoto has an incredible concentration and immense variety that you’ll find nowhere else. In just one day you’ll be able to interact with geisha, enjoy the finest green tea, see thousands and thousands of torii (the red gates), and much more. If you have one chance to wear a kimono, this is the place to do it!
Osaka
A very close runner-up to Tokyo’s size and dynamic, is the lovable city of Osaka. Filled with vibrant personalities and Japan’s most delicious food, it’s a place you’ll regret not diving into. Nothing would make the adventure here than sporting a kimono, especially at the immaculate Osaka Castle!
Kanazawa
Kanazawa is another area quite comparable to the iconic city of Kyoto, with its own variety of cultural experiences that have been preserved from the Edo period (1603-1868). Visitors flock to this mesmerizing area for its incredible gardens, teahouse district, as well as others. and yes, of course, you can (and should) stroll around in a kimono here!
