Kimono rental
What do I need to bring with me?
Our plans include kimono underwear, tabi (socks), zori (sandals), bags, etc., so you don’t need to bring anything. If you are concerned about cold weather or sweating, both men and women can wear a light tank top or T-shirt with an open neck (such as a V-neck shirt). We can dress you in the kimono over the shirt.
Can I choose my obi and accessories?- In principle, our staff will select an obi and accessories (bag and zori [sandals]) to match the kimono you have chosen. However, please tell us if you would like to choose your own items. We also rent out other Japanese-style accessories (fees apply).Click here

What sizes do you have for tabi (socks) and zori (sandals)?- These items are one size fits all.
Do you sell kimono?- Yes. If you would like to purchase one of our rental kimono, please ask and we will sell you a new version of the item.
What happens if I dirty, damage, or lose the kimono I rented?- We don’t want you to be so worried about dirtying your kimono that you can’t enjoy wearing it, so please have fun walking around Kyoto in kimono with peace of mind. If you do dirty your kimono while out and about, you do not have to launder or repair it by yourself. If you know the source of the dirt, such as what kind of food it was, please let us know when you return the kimono.
