HAYATE KYOTO / FLAGSHIP STORE
HAYATEKYOTO.
A flagship destination for karate practitioners worldwide.
OPENING MARCH 2027
静に宿る疾さ。武を纏う、京の庵。
01 / WHY HAYATE KYOTO
Built in Kyoto. Made for karate practitioners worldwide.
HAYATE is built around a simple promise: NEXT challenge with you. The Kyoto flagship brings that performance mindset into a place where practitioners can handle, compare and choose their equipment in person.
A former kimono wholesaler will bring HAYATE dogi, kuro-obi, budo tools and kimono under one roof. More than a store, HAYATE KYOTO is being created as a destination for the international karate community.
02 / THE FLAGSHIP
Three floors, designed around how karate practitioners choose.
Kuro-obi and Kyoto pieces on the first floor, HAYATE performance dogi on the second, and bespoke work with kimono on the third. Every floor offers a different reason to visit.

DOGI GALLERY
The Dogi Room
A floor for handling, comparing and choosing HAYATE dogi for kata, kumite and daily practice.
03
BESPOKE SALON
The Bespoke Room
A quiet salon for discussing fabric, measurements, embroidery and the details of a garment or belt made to last.
03 / PERFORMANCE DOGI
Choose a dogi by how it moves.
Weight, sound, freedom of movement and feel against the skin cannot be reduced to a product page. HAYATE KYOTO will offer the current HAYATE range, bespoke dogi and kuro-obi to compare in person.
