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.
