Yes, you can come empty-handed. The rental fee includes a complete kimono set, sandals (zōri), dressing assistance, and hairstyling.
*Please bring your own hadajuban (a light undergarment worn under a kimono) and tabi (traditional split-toe socks), or you may purchase them at our shop as a set for ¥3,000 (tax excluded).

Note: We may style your hair before getting dressed.
※If you wear a turtleneck or clothes with a tight collar, it may ruin your hairstyle. We recommend wearing a front-opening top for your visit.

Kimono dressing and hairstyling each take approximately 30 minutes, for a total preparation time of about one hour.
If you choose your kimono at the shop, please allow some extra time, as we will provide personalized suggestions based on your preferences and style. We kindly ask you to arrive with ample time to fully enjoy the experience.

If you are on a tight schedule, please let us know in advance so we can make your visit as smooth and efficient as possible.

After you are ready, you can relax with a cup of tea and enjoy our original “YUIITSUMUNI” sweets, made exclusively for SHOSA.

We are happy to hold your belongings for you, provided that you return to the gallery by 5:00 PM on the same day.
If you prefer, we can also deliver your belongings to your designated accommodation later in the day.
Please note that delivery is only available to accommodations within Kyoto City, excluding areas such as Ohara, Kibune, Kurama, and Takao.

Please feel free to consult with our staff on the day regarding your preferred hairstyle.

Yes, absolutely. Even with very short hair, we can create a Japanese-style look by adding volume to the top and styling the sides with pins.
If your hair reaches below the ears, it may be possible to style it into an updo.
Please feel free to consult with our staff — we’ll be happy to suggest a style that suits your hair length and kimono.

We sincerely apologize, but we are unable to provide kimono rental and dressing services to customers who are pregnant or have physical injuries, as we cannot take responsibility for any health-related issues that may arise.

The obi (sash) is tied firmly around the waist during the dressing process, which may cause discomfort, especially for expectant mothers. Additionally, traditional sandals (zori) are more prone to slipping compared to regular footwear, and though rare, there have been reports of the straps coming loose.
For these safety reasons, we kindly ask pregnant customers to refrain from using our kimono rental service.
We truly regret that we cannot accommodate you and deeply appreciate your understanding.

A.Yes, we provide outer garments such as haori, dochugi, and michiyuki coats with all rental plans at no additional cost. Please rest assured that you’ll be prepared for the colder season.

About winter undergarments:
In winter, you may wear thermal innerwear for warmth. For the upper body, we recommend U-neck or V-neck short-sleeved shirts with an open neckline.

Please note that undergarments with collars may become visible around the neck area when wearing a kimono. To ensure a neat and elegant appearance, we suggest choosing styles with a clean, open neckline.

Yes, all of our rental kimono plans include the cost of cleaning, so you can enjoy your outing with peace of mind even on rainy days.
However, please note that in cases of severe stains or damage, an additional cleaning or repair fee may be charged.

For silk kimono such as komon and houmongi, if blood stains are found and considered irreparable, compensation may be required.
Please refer to our Terms of Service (section on product damage, stains, and loss) for details on compensation criteria and fees.
