A wonderful Ryukyu costume experience!
Experience:
What makes this shop special is that it offers lace accessories (headpieces, inner linings, etc., which you can choose yourself). If you like lace pairings, this is a great place to try it out!
The shop assistants and owner will personally help each person match every kimono. First, you choose your favorite color, and then the assistant will adjust it according to your height and color. If you prefer a more Ryukyuan style, you can also ask the assistant to help you with a custom pairing. Hair styling and a variety of hair accessories are also available.
The latest you can return the clothes is 9 PM, whether you enter at noon or in the evening, you just need to return them by 9 PM. The timing is very flexible.
Safety:
You don't need to take off your original clothes when wearing the kimono, which is very safe. It's recommended to wear a light long skirt, otherwise, it might be too stuffy.
Valuables can be stored in the shop.
Location:
The shop is located in an alley near the First Makishi Public Market, making it easily accessible. After changing into the kimono, you can immediately stroll along Kokusai Street or take a taxi (about a 10-minute ride, around 1000 JPY) to visit Naminoue Shrine. We highly recommend taking photos at the coastal park and beach near Naminoue Shrine.
This experience was fantastic. The shop is conveniently located, and the staff are enthusiastic and professional. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to create Ryukyu costume memories in Okinawa!
