【DETAILS】

This is a day kimono rental plan to enjoy Osu and Nagoya at your own pace.

As the city has a lot to offer around the seasons, we highly recommend you to wear a kimono to go admire cherry blossoms or autumn leaves, or take the subway to visit Nagoya Castle. Some of our clients also enjoy eating at traditional restaurants or taking cultural classes with their kimono on! Tell us what you plan to do, and our staff will help you choose the perfect outfit.

Do not hesitate in asking questions and speaking about your preferences and needs. Our shop is a safe place for every one and any combination can be made, no matter your body or gender. Cosplayers are also welcome!

A private photo studio and photographer plan can also be arranged in advance, if you don’t feel like sharing your kimono with the world but want to keep these precious kimono memories for yourself.
