About this event

In Hagi, known as "the town where kimono looks best," this event invites visitors to dress in kimono and savor the beautiful townscape and traditional Japanese culture. Strolling leisurely in kimono through the Hagi castle town area, which retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, allows you to enjoy an extraordinary Japanese cultural ambiance. During the event, kimono wearers will receive a complimentary "HAGI TRAVEL PASS," a special coupon passport valid at over 40 facilities including dining spots, souvenir shops, and sightseeing attractions. Furthermore, the "Wa no Manabiya" workshops—offering hands-on experiences such as making kimono-matching Japanese accessories, fragrance making, and crafting moss terrariums—can be enjoyed at a discounted price for those wearing kimono. Nighttime events touring the castle town and gourmet food-walk events are also scheduled, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the historic scenery and streets through a wide variety of kimono experiences unique to Hagi. Rental shops within the city make kimono rental and dressing easily accessible, ensuring that even first-time participants can join with peace of mind.
