Did You Make Any Summer Memories? | Enjoying Kyoto’s Summer in a Yukata
Did you make any wonderful memories this summer?
Fireworks displays, summer festivals, and strolling through the streets of Kyoto.
Summer offers so many special moments that can only be enjoyed during this season.
And what makes a summer day feel just a little more special is the “yukata.”
Wearing your favorite yukata to a fireworks festival
This summer, many customers came to grace kimono salon to get dressed in yukata.
Choose a yukata at grace, then head to the fireworks festival.
Pick out a yukata, match it with an obi, and get your hair done.
As your preparations gradually come together, you’ll find yourself looking forward even more to the summer day that’s about to begin.
The time spent getting dressed in a yukata isn’t just “preparation” for watching the fireworks—perhaps your summer memories begin right then and there.
Summer memories made possible by the yukata
The sound of fireworks, the air on a summer night, the bustle of the festival.
Of course, going out in your everyday clothes is fun too, but on days when you go out wearing a yukata, you’ll find that, strangely enough, your memories of that day tend to be much more vivid.
When I look back at the photos,
“We picked out this yukata together,”
or “We went to the fireworks festival that day”—
—that’s one of the wonderful things about yukata.
At grace, we don’t just want you to rent a yukata—we want you to enjoy the process of choosing one right from the start.
What color would look good on you?
Which obi would look cute with this yukata?
Which hair accessory should you choose?
If you’re unsure, let’s discuss it together as you make your choices.
Actually, this is one of our favorite parts of the experience.
Thank you so much for this past summer.
To everyone who wore a grace yukata to explore the streets of Kyoto, attend festivals, and enjoy fireworks displays this summer—thank you so much.
We’re so happy that grace could be a part of your special summer days.
It’s a little sad to see summer come to an end, but Kyoto is now gradually transitioning into fall.
As our attire shifts from yukata to kimono, a season is upon us where you can enjoy Kyoto in a whole new way.
Some of you may have made wonderful memories in your yukata this summer.
And for those who thought, “I didn’t get to wear a yukata this year.”
Next time, please be sure to enjoy Kyoto in the fall while wearing a kimono.
Even as the seasons change, we at grace kimono salon would be delighted to help ensure your day in Kyoto becomes a wonderful memory.
After your summer memories, create autumn memories in a kimono.
We look forward to seeing you all.
