Hokkaido: Kimono Rental in Otaru

Explore the charming town of Otaru in Hokkaido while wearing a beautiful traditional kimono. You can choose a style you like and enjoy walking through the streets while taking lovely photos. 

The rental includes everything you need—kimono or yukata (for summer), innerwear, tabi socks, sandals, and hair accessories. Each season offers a different view: colorful flowers in spring, lively festivals in summer, red and yellow leaves in autumn, and snowy scenes with lights in winter.

You can also pick from pretty obi belts, including lace and soft-colored ones that are trendy. Feel free to bring your own hair accessories to match your look. If it’s cold, you can wear extra layers underneath to stay warm. While wearing your kimono, you can visit shops, enjoy snacks, or relax at a cozy café. It’s a great way to enjoy the beauty of Otaru while trying something new and traditional.
