Kimono Forest, where traditional beauty and modern art blend, is a monument of light that adorns the night in Arashiyama. 15 acrylic pillars inspired by kimono designs emit a fantastic light like lanterns.
Walking on the cobblestone path, it feels as though colorful lights are dancing like kimono flowers. The patterns of Kyoto Yuzen, a pride of Kyoto's skilled artisans, exhibit a different charm from the daytime.
On the southern side of the building, the illumination of the pillars is reflected on the water mirror. The elegance of the light dancing on the water creates a fantastical night scene. It is also a popular photography spot and perfect for commemorative photos.
Arashiyama is often crowded with tourists, but at night, it is enveloped in a quiet atmosphere as the crowd diminishes. A luxurious time to experience the elegance of Kyoto can be found in a night stroll while gazing at the Kimono Forest.
This light art that reflects the essence of tradition proposes a unique way to enjoy Kyoto's night. How about experiencing the fantastical Kyoto night while being captivated by the gorgeous colors of the kimono?
