Kawagoe, Japão | Experiência popular de aluguel de quimono (fornecida por Kimono Rinka)

The location is relatively easy to find, but there aren't many styles. It's best to arrive half an hour early to wait, as it can take a long time when it's busy! Many accessories require an additional charge; if you want something nice, you'll have to pay extra!

Lugar agradable, los disfraces también son bonitos.

Ms. Anazawa was very professional; she was incredibly patient while helping with the kimono fitting and always greeted us with a smile. Although the upgraded kimonos were a bit more expensive and had fewer choices, the quality was excellent and very comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.

Because my child wanted to wear a kimono and stroll around Kawagoe, I specifically chose Rika Kimono, which had good reviews and was a bit pricey online. To my surprise, there weren't many styles available on-site (we were almost the first customers to arrive, but the kimonos for our plan were limited to a small clothing rack as shown in the photos, and the obi sashes were also very limited). I've had several kimono experiences in Kyoto, Asakusa, and Hikone before, and this was the first time I encountered such a small selection of clothing. Especially if you want to add an obijime or a more elaborate kasane-eri, it costs an additional 10,000 yen per person; if you choose a furisode, it's an extra 30,000 yen, which is quite expensive. In my previous experiences, obijime and kasane-eri were always included in the original fees charged by KKDAY and KLOOK, so I was surprised that they were extra this time. However, the staff inside provided excellent service.

I recommend that anyone interested in wearing a kimono choose another shop. Before I used their service, the details stated that everything was included for 1200+- baht. This price depends on each person, but compared to other shops, this one is more expensive, and this price does not include everything. On the day and time of the appointment, the staff will recommend adding accessories, each of which is very expensive. The hair styling included in the booked price is not worth it at all. The staff rushed and didn't care if the customer's hair wasn't neat. Also, before using the service, you have to fill in the return time for the kimono, and you are not allowed to be late by even 1 minute; otherwise, you will have to pay a late return fee. The total time, to be honest, can take many minutes, which puts us at a disadvantage because once that time is set, it cannot be changed. If I could choose again, I would not choose this shop. Before we left, the shop even asked us to write a review on Google Maps. Our friend refused to click, so they wouldn't let her take off the kimono.
