Gesture & etiquette
Gesture towards the yukata you are wearing or holding.
While many ryokans encourage wearing yukata outside, especially in hot spring towns, some might prefer guests stay within the premises for various reasons. Always ask first. Avoid wearing it in a sloppy manner or combining it with inappropriate footwear.
