In addition,
the professional staff is very detailed and prompt to put on the Kimono with you.
※She also would teach you how to act, walk and going to restroom
while in Kimono dressing.

remember don't have the high collar ones.
Coz you know one of the points for kimono is
to show the naked neck!
In general,
it is said that it is better to take off the bar while wearing Kimono.
Coz Kimono is wearing pretty tight,
if you are afraid of pressure on your upper body,
you might think of taking off.
But it depends,
do the comfortable way yourselves.

After putting on kimono,
a gift is prepared for you!
