Join us to explore the beauty of the ancient city of Kyoto under the rain with COS to discover its unique flavour.

Every city has its unique soul, and Kyoto, Japan, is undoubtedly a city with an old soul. Every corner of this city seems to be telling stories of the past, and it presents itself like a wise old man, leisurely showcasing its deep history and rich culture.

Walking into Kyoto, you can stroll along the quaint Path of Philosophy, which is lined with cherry trees. In spring, the blooming cherry blossoms are a magnificent sight, attracting visitors from all over the world. Additionally, a visit to the Arashiyama area not only offers views of dense bamboo groves but also the surrounding mountains and flowing rivers. These natural landscapes form picturesque scenes that are truly soul-enriching.

Beyond its natural beauty, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are also treasures for exploration. Ancient shrines and temples are scattered throughout the city, serving not only as centres of religious faith but also as showcases of Japan's exquisite traditional architectural skills. The shimmering Golden Pavilion and the spectacular wooden structure of Kiyomizu-dera are breathtaking. Each building not only tells its own story but also displays a unique beauty that captivates tourists.

L'OFFICIEL takes you into this ancient city to explore Kyoto under the rain with COS, models dressed in the Tabata Shibori collection, discovering its unique flavour. The rain adds a layer of mystery to Kyoto, with streets and buildings moistened by rainwater, appearing even more rustic and elegant.
In such an atmosphere, every step taken and every photo snapped captures a serene and profound beauty. Walking through the old city, casually taken photos of street corners turn into beautiful landscape paintings, recording the unique charm and historical traces of this city.
