VASARA Kimono and Yukata Rental in Kanazawa

A lovely experience with very friendly staff. The choices were diverse with a nice array of accessories. Convient location to the castle and gardens. If you wear a larger shoe size you might want to pack a pair of shoes that reflect your style choice.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with VASARA Kimono Rental! The shop was easy to find, and the staff was incredibly professional and helpful. The kimonos were stunning and truly exceptional quality. Throughout our travels in Japan, we saw many other kimono rentals, and we felt ours were far superior in both quality and appearance. We chose the Premier rentals and upgraded the hair styling and a few accessories, which was absolutely worth it. We also hired a local photographer for a photo shoot in the garden, and the photos turned out incredible—the beautiful kimonos made them even more special. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about our experience. From the service to the quality of the kimonos and accessories, everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend VASARA to anyone looking for a beautiful, high-quality kimono experience in Kanazawa.

There were two of us here and we were served with a great deal of kindness and care. We both had the Deluxe Premium package. We were able to choose from many yukata and received good advice from the staff. During the dressing process, they always made sure that we felt comfortable in everything. Doing my hair took quite a long time because my hair is very long. However, both I and the woman who did my hair had fun doing it, and the hairstyle turned out so beautiful! Outside, we received a lot of compliments, and my boyfriend also felt very comfortable in his outfit. Overall, it is a huge recommendation! It was so much fun and everyone was so friendly, both when getting dressed and undressed and when having our hair done. Out on the street, you felt like something very special, even though there were many people walking around in such yukata.

Both ladies were very patient, the shop was clean, and the location was very convenient, right on the way to Kenrokuen Garden. The kimonos were clean, and the hairstyles were very elaborate.

this shop was amazing. VASARA. We got here early and they allowed us to start early. I love our outfit. The lady that assisted me Ogara was very helpful and kind. Definitely recommend this location. my husband and I got so many compliments on our outfit.

We had a pleasant time in Kanazawa using kimono rental service from Vasara. They have various selection of good quality kimonos and services were smooth and professional. We love the enthusiasm of the staffs.

The staff were incredibly kind and patient, and very willing to help with kimono styling, including hair accessories, which made for an unforgettable experience for customers. The shop's location is also within the attraction, so you can start taking photos right after getting dressed.

My mom and I had a wonderful time! 100% recommend! This is not our first time wearing kimono, but we were impressed. •🇬🇧English support available. Friendly! •🛄You store your stuff there. Basically, show up in regular clothes and leave them there, and any belongings you don't need for the day. •👛They have matching purses, so don't worry! •🥿They have the geta (sandles), but if you are worried about comfort, your own shoes are fine. Boots or sandals are especially recommended, Japanese ladies wear boots with kimono too! •👘Large selection of various patterns and price points. •🫄I had to wear a tall/large kimono (173cm/5'9"), but they gave me an upgraded accessory for free, and they were very kind about breaking the news to me ❤️‍🔥 •🎨They will help you choose everything if you're not sure what matches! •🎀The hair styling is quick & really worth it! You can keep your hair like that after! (They keep the accessory though.) •🚻The restrooms are downstairs in the cafe. •⏰From entering to exiting the shop, getting dressed took around 45-60 minutes (depends on crowds), but getting undressed into regular clothes took 10-15.

Great experience with Vasara. I booked at the Kenrokuen location, which was perfectly located for the Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle. A nice selection of yukata and the dressing process was seamless and quite fascinating! Loved my hairstyle. I hired a huge umbrella as an add-on and it just added to the photos. Would highly recommend!

It’s our first Kimono experience and we were very satisfied. We reserved a session the night before and went there at 10am. The shop is located close to the Kanazawa station, so 10mn by bus to Higashi Chaya district for taking wonderful photos. There were 2 ladies who were nice and gentle, they helped us chosing the kimonos and dressed us. We initially selected the 1-star kimonos on Klook but weren’t interested in the items in the store so we upgraded to the 2-star ones for around 1500 yen. There was not a large selection overall but the items are well-preserved and priced. The preparation for 2 people would take up to around 30-45mn, of course more time spent on the hair dressing for my wife. The weather was quite cold when we were in Kanzawa and we only wore kimonos outside but honestly it was pretty warm and comfy. We returned back the kimonos at 3pm after wandering and taking many photos at Higashi Shaya, Kenroku garden. Overal great experience, we would highly recommend this shop!
