  • How long is the rental period? Is next-day return available?

    We do not offer 1-hour or 2-hour rental courses.

    For same-day returns, please return your kimono by 5:30 PM.

    We also offer next-day returns at no additional charge.

    You may return the kimono by 2:00 PM the following day, allowing you to enjoy festivals or nighttime strolls without worrying about the time.

    You do not need to request the next-day return option in advance—you can decide on the day of rental. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy Kyoto until late at night.

    ※ Please note that switching to next-day return after you have already departed is not allowed.

  • I can’t decide which plan to choose. Can I change my plan on the day of my visit?

    Yes, you can.

    Please come to the shop on the day and choose your preferred plan after seeing the kimonos in person.
