Playgrounds in Kyoto

Today, a family from Amherst, USA, came to visit. Their 4-year-old daughter was absolutely captivated by the Japanese toys, playing with them one after another. She even tried origami, enthusiastically learning from her parents. She also said, ‘I love kimonos!’ and chose a pink one to wear, showing off her adorable smile. While the little girl played, both her father and mother got deeply involved in traditional Japanese games. They enjoyed activities like origami, kendama , daruma-drop, and picture books, spending a fulfilling time themselves. At the end, they also made fans. The little girl said, ‘I want to keep playing here!’ and her mother thanked us, saying, ‘In Kyoto, it’s mostly temple sightseeing, and children often get bored. Thank you for opening such a wonderful place!’ They were all so happy, and it made me feel truly grateful. I opened AriHana Kyoto as a space for children to play and for people of all ages to enjoy together. It’s a place where both adults and families with children can easily experience Japanese cultural traditions and games. No reservations required. Whether you’re sightseeing or just passing through, please feel free to stop by and enjoy this unique experience.

At AriHana Kyoto, I offer a variety of Kyoto cultural experiences that allow visitors to immerse themselves in traditional Japanese culture. As a small, independent space, I provide a warm, welcoming environment where you can enjoy these activities at your own pace, with no time limits or reservations required.

One of the most popular activities is kimono wearing. You can try on a beautiful kimono and experience the elegance of this iconic Japanese garment while exploring Kyoto’s historic charm. In addition, I offer a hands-on origami experience, where even young children can create their own paper masterpieces with a little guidance.

For families and children, I also have traditional Japanese toys like kendama (a wooden toy similar to a yo-yo) and beanbags, which offer a fun and nostalgic way to experience traditional Japanese play.

Since I run the shop on my own, each guest can enjoy a personalized experience with the freedom to explore and enjoy these cultural activities as they like. Whether it’s your first time in Kyoto or you’re returning to experience something new, I’m here to help you create lasting memories through authentic Kyoto cultural experiences.
