Rental process
We will explain the process of renting and returning a kimono at our shop in an easy-to-understand manner even for first-time customers. To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend that you make a reservation in advance.
Please also check the return time and cancellation policy carefully.
1reservation
Please make a reservation for your desired date and time via the online reservation form or LINE. If there is availability, we can accommodate you on the day, but it is safer to make a reservation in advance. Online reservations from the official website can be made up to 30 minutes before your visit. If you wish to use the service at the last minute, we will accept reservations by phone, so please feel free to contact us.
When you make a reservation online, you can choose the kimono or yukata that suits your plan, and you can even pay by card. Therefore, if you make a reservation online in advance, you won't need to pay on the day, and the reception will be smooth.
In the unlikely event that you need to cancel, please use the reservation cancellation form. Depending on the plan, a cancellation fee may apply. Please be sure to check the "Cancellation/Other" section on the FAQ page before making your reservation.
2Visit us
Please come to the store you made your reservation at about 5 minutes before the reservation time. If you don't know where it is, please feel free to call us and we will guide you.
Please note that we will ask you to present identification (driver's license, student ID, residence card, etc.) at the reception to verify your identity.

Choose your very own special kimono and yukata from the gorgeous selection available in the store.
Find the perfect kimono and obi to brighten up your special day. We have a wide variety of kimonos and yukatas in store! You're sure to find the perfect kimono and obi for you.
If you are unsure, please ask our staff for help! We will help you choose the kimono or yukata that best suits you.
4Dressing
Once you have selected your kimono, you can move on to dressing. Our experienced staff will help you dress from the undergarment (kimono undergarment) to the obi belt. Dressing takes about 20 minutes per person (excluding peak times).
The estimated time required from reception to departure is about one hour per person, including the time it takes to choose a kimono and accessories. If you are coming with multiple people, please plan your reservation time to be around one and a half to two hours.
5Hair set
Once you have been dressed, we will move on to hair styling. We offer a variety of hair styling options, from free plans to paid plans that will enhance your kimono, such as braiding and flower decorations.
Since you'll be wearing a kimono, why not also pay special attention to your hair style?
6Selecting accessories
Please choose the accessories you would like to put in the pouch and then your kimono dressing will be complete. We also have other accessories available, such as rain umbrellas, parasols, and maiko umbrellas, that will make your kimono look even more attractive.
Please note that we are unable to store valuables, so please place them in a drawstring bag. We also have a large Japanese style bag available as an option, which can fit a cosmetic pouch or a large wallet, so please feel free to ask.

8return
Please return the items by the final return time (17:30).
Generally, you will need to return the kimono at the dressing store, but you can also return it at another store for an additional fee of 3,850 yen per kimono. If you would like to return the kimono at another store, please let us know before you leave.
If you do not make it in time for the final return time, a late fee of 2,200 yen per item will be charged.

Bandage
We recommend that you bring one or two bandages with you to prevent problems such as chafing from the thongs and blisters caused by wearing sandals.

Recommended sightseeing spots in the area
Kiyomizu Temple
27 minutes by bus from the store
A World Heritage Site, this is one of Kyoto's most famous tourist attractions. The three-story pagoda on the middle of Mt. Otowa, the main hall known for its Kiyomizu stage, and the inner sanctuary form a magnificent temple complex.
Nineizaka, Sanneizaka, and Shimizuzaka
26 minutes by bus from the store
The approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple continues from Ninenzaka (Ninenzaka) to Sannenzaka (Sannenzaka) to Kiyomizu-dera, and is Kyoto's premier tourist street. Along the quaint cobblestoned slope, there are many Kyoto-style shops selling souvenirs, sweets, Japanese goods, and more.
Minamiza Theatre
20 minutes by bus from the store
Located at the foot of Shijo Ohashi Bridge, this theater boasts 400 years of history and tradition. It is said to be the birthplace of Kabuki, where Izumo no Okuni first performed the "Kabuki Dance." The building itself, a nationally registered tangible cultural property, is well worth a visit.
Fushimi-Inari Taisha
From the store, take the train to Kyoto Station and it's 12 minutes
"Oinari-san" boasts a history of over 1,300 years. Fushimi Inari Taisha, affectionately known as "Oinari-san," is the head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines across the country. Its history predates the capital's move to Heian, and it is said to have been founded in 711. It is said to bring good luck in business prosperity and household safety, and is crowded with many worshippers throughout the year. The biggest attraction is the "Senbon Torii." The sight of the rows of vermilion-painted Torii gates is simply breathtaking! This is said to be due to the widespread practice of donating Torii gates after the Edo period, as a sign of gratitude for wishes "coming true" or "having been granted."
