What You’ll Do
This private, customisable tour is designed for travellers who are curious about kimono – what they are, how they’re worn, and why they still matter today.
Some guests come hoping to find a piece to bring home 🛍️, while others are simply keen to understand the basics 🤔. Either way, this experience offers a friendly, hands-on introduction to Japan’s most iconic clothing 🇯🇵.
Many people start out thinking they want a kimono, but after seeing the options (and all the layers! 😅), they realise that something like a haori – or even a nagajuban to wear at home as a robe – can be a more comfortable and practical choice.
Your guide will help you figure that out, sharing insights along the way – all while keeping things fun, relaxed, and tailored to your interests 🎎🧵.
