A special kimono experience delivered by a long-established rental costume store that has been supporting the kimono culture of the ancient city of Nara for 103 years. You will see, touch, and actually wear gorgeous and vibrant kimonos (uchikake) that you cannot wear in a general kimono experience. Uchikake is a costume that you only have the opportunity to wear on important days in life such as weddings, and is a costume that Japanese women long for. It is also very expensive and has high artistic value compared to normal kimonos, and our company has uchikake worth more than 1 million yen. As we have been involved in weddings for many years, we have more than 60 such precious uchikake. It is rare in the country to see and actually try on so many uchikake in one experience, and this was made possible by a long-established rental costume store. This experience, where you can experience traditional Japanese beauty by wearing an uchikake that has long expressed the dignity and elegance of Japanese women, will surely make you feel happy and will be a memory that you will cherish for a lifetime. [Terminology explanation] Uchikake: A costume with a history of more than 450 years. In modern times, it is a formal attire that is generally only worn at weddings. There are two types of uchikake: the pure white Shiromuku, which is worn at wedding ceremonies such as Shinto weddings, and the colorful Iro-uchikake, which is worn when gathering with relatives and friends after the wedding.
