In most hotels you don a yukata (浴衣) in the evening in your room and in the traditional ryokan style hotel (旅館) you do so also outside of your room.
You will see waitresses being dressed in kimono in up market restaurants.
In Kyoto you will see quite a lot of woman, even tourists, dressed in kimono. Actually I had a hard time to know differentiate when the Chinese young ladies dressed in kimono and having a Japanese hair style - I could only do so when they talked.

Taking wedding pictures at Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩師庭園) - the couple has been very lucky as later the sky had been covered with clouds and it also rained a little. I wish them all the best!
