スタンダードプランにしましたが、素敵な着物がたくさんあり、迷いました。着付けはすごくスピーディでテキパキとしていましたし、返却まで全く着崩れることがありませんでした。髪のセットもたくさんの髪型から選ぶことができ、コテを使ってしっかりスタイリングしていただき、髪飾りも選び放題でとても楽しかったです。写真撮影は室内と、兼六園をお願いしました。お店の中庭の雰囲気がすごく素敵でした。そして、兼六園まで歩きながらたくさんの名所を案内していただきました。自分たちだけの観光では見れないような景色を見ることができ、地元ならではのお話も聞くことができたので、このプランに申し込んで本当によかったと思いました。出来上がった写真は翌々日にはデータでいただけました。どれも素敵な写真で、金沢旅行の大切な宝物になりました。 今回は気候に恵まれましたが、厳しい天気でも望めば催行可能とのことでした。とにかく、プロの方たちのおかげで素敵な1日となること間違いなしです。お値段もビックリするくらいリーズナブルなので、たくさんの方にぜひ体験していただきたいです。

新婚旅行で訪れた初めての金沢観光で利用しました。 まず、入り口ののれんや壁のアートなど、和のいい雰囲気でした。ここにしてよかったと、パッと見て思いました。 着物の種類は、安いプランでもそこそこ選べたので満足でした!足袋や下駄、バッグ、髪飾りなど必要なものは全て付いてくるのも良かったです。 髪飾りは沢山の中から何個でも好きなもの選んでいいよと言っていただけて、豪華にしていただきました。 日差しが強い日だったのでレンタル用の日傘を無料で貸してくれたのも助かりました。 メンズの着物も、種類が豊富だった印象です。特に帯はこんなに選べるんだとびっくりしました。選ぶのに少し悩みましたが、店員さんがアドバイスしてくれたのでいいものが選べました。 着付けしていただいたときに、着物が崩れてきたらどうしたらいいか、お手洗いに行く時のコツなど、教えていただけるとさらによかったかなと思います。 着付けてもらった後は自撮りライトで自撮りできるスペースがあり、いい写真が撮れました! 総じて満足しています。おかげさまで、いい記念になりました。ありがとうございました!

The reason why requests from world brands come in... Kokura Orimono's strength lies in jacquard silk fabrics. An industrial jacquard loom has 14,200 warp (vertical) threads, with weft (horizontal) threads moving back and forth between them. There is slight unevenness in thickness. The craftsman adjusts them while threading, and operates the loom while keeping an eye on it to ensure that it runs smoothly. Today, there are almost no highly specialized craftsmen even within the production area, which is one of the reasons why Kokura Textile receives requests from world-famous brands. Why not visit Kokura Orimono to meet these rare and highly skilled craftsmen? *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.
