VASARA Ginza 3-chome store is
This is the third VASARA KIMONO RENTAL store to open, and the first terminal model store. VASARA has opened stores in tourist areas such as Asakusa and Kamakura, so there was some concern as to whether it would be successful in urban areas where demand for formal wear and ceremonial occasions is the main focus. However, the store has now grown into one with many repeat customers, led by Kobayashi.

We spoke to Kobayashi about this.

-Please tell us your profile.

I was born and raised in Tokyo, an Edokko.
I have been wearing kimono for over 20 years.

-What job did you do before joining the company?

I was involved in business planning for kimono dressing classes, acting as a kimono sales intermediary, and selling kimonos.

-What made you decide to join VASARA?

I've been interested in it since its inception.
They had established a cafe within their kimono rental shop and had very innovative and flexible ideas, so I was very interested in the company and hoped that we might have the opportunity to work together someday.

-What kind of work are you currently in charge of?

Ginza store store operations

-What do you value in your work?

The most important thing is to respond to the customer's needs.
Apparently they will receive it.
As a service industry, we want our customers to experience something at VASARA that exceeds their expectations.

-Please tell us about your future outlook for your business and operations.

I am currently working at the Ginza store, and I feel a sense of fulfillment in being involved in developing a store format that specializes in the Ginza region and in establishing VASARA brand. I work every day hoping to grow together with VASARA and turn opportunities into reality.

-What is the happiest episode that has happened to you so far?

It makes me really happy when customers who I have served once come back with their friends to have me coordinate their kimono, or when customers I have served return to the store!

-What do you want new employees to value?

I myself am also thinking about what I can do for the company.
I guess what he's saying is that you should focus on what you can do.

-What 's your favorite food?

I especially like chocolate, sukiyaki and eggs.

-What is your favorite travel destination?

I like Okinawa everything except the food.

-What are your hobbies and special skills?

Hot yoga reading

Let's have fun together with courage, hope and passion!!
You can give it a try!!
