Kimono Rental Shop Search

Recently, it seems that searching for kimono through online rental shops, ordering with just a click, and having it delivered to be worn at a venue or beauty salon for dressing up has become the standard way to find kimono.

Renting online is generally cheaper than kimono stores found in town or department stores,

there are many options,

and you don’t have to take the time to go try on kimono.

It’s economical and modern!

In fact, it has become quite common to hear about people around me renting kimono for various occasions such as attending weddings with visiting kimono, wearing the last unmarried furisode when meeting the families, and renting visiting kimono and infant clothing online for a baby's first shrine visit...

Recently, I even heard about a couple who rented their mother's black tomesode from an online rental service instead of the costume shop affiliated with the wedding venue to save costs.

Since it’s online, you can’t see the actual items...

But! I believe that here, you can surely find good outfits... so let me introduce some recommended kimono and Japanese clothing rental sites.
