Where to Rent a Kimono or Yukata in Hiroshima
Traditional Japanese garments are beautiful and quite unlike the clothing from anywhere else in the world. You may like to have the experience of wearing the national dress, such as to attend a cultural event or for a photo shoot. One option to wear is a kimono, which is what Japanese people use just for special occasions, such as weddings, funerals, and tea ceremonies. It is a wrapped garment that comes in various styles and fabrics. Wearers choose an appropriate kimono according to their gender, age, and marital status as well as the formality and type of event. The other option is a yukata. This is an informal version of the kimono. It is less expensive and suitable for more casual events, such as summer festivals and visiting ryokan, especially after using the bathhouse — the name “yukata” actually translates to “bathing cloth.” To avoid needing to purchase a kimono or yukata just to have the experience of wearing one, you may like to consider renting one.
