In Japan, it is said that less than 5% of people can wear kimono now days. Because it is difficult to wear a kimono by yourself. The problem with vintage kimonos is that Japanese people in the past were small, so the size of kimonos is small. Usually, when wearing a kimono, the part called "Ohashiyori" is folded. By making kimono into two pieces, the folding part has been eliminated and improved so that even tall people can wear vintage kimonos. Kimonos are generally handmade and made of silk, so they are expensive and cannot be purchased affordably. Some of our kimonos are gorgeous and have fine detail which normally cost like thousands of dollars. But with the use of vintage, they are affordable for everyone. Our extra cost for kimono is very easy to distinguish. If you decide to go with no extra charge, you can choose a basic kimono. Why do you make your own kimono? By making the kimono into a two-part style, ANYONE can easily wear a kimono.

We offer an experience like no other. It is " real Japanese culture". Typical Shinjuku experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. For example, "Memoide Yokocho" and "Golden Gai. But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there. Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists. Can we say that we "experienced Japanese culture" by going there? We do not think so. We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where "locals" always go. It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, "What? You went there!" they will be surprised in a good way. We have begun to take action in order to show you the "real Japanese culture". Since we have just started our business, we offer our services at a lower price than usual.
