Kimono Rental Waraku is just a short walk from Asakusa Station, with easy access to major sightseeing spots like Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate. If it’s your first time wearing a kimono, choosing a shop close to the station makes your experience much easier and more comfortable. The most popular sightseeing route in Asakusa is from Kaminarimon through Nakamise Street to Senso-ji Temple—and we’re right at the start of it. Many of our customers say things like “It was so easy to find the shop” and “We had time to visit lots of tourist spots.” Being close to both the station and sightseeing highlights is a big advantage, especially when you’re navigating an unfamiliar area. That’s why Kimono Rental Waraku is the perfect choice for your Asakusa kimono stroll.

5. You Can Stay Stylish with On-Trend Kimono Outfits
Just like everyday fashion, kimono styles also go through trends—what’s popular now might feel outdated in just a few months, and older styles often make a comeback. At Kimono Rental Wakura, we’re always keeping an eye on social media to stay up-to-date! We regularly gather the latest kimono outfit ideas and make sure to incorporate trendy kimonos and accessories into our collection. By speeding up our seasonal inventory cycles, we’re able to constantly offer fresh styles—so you can enjoy fashionable, on-trend kimono outfit any time.
6. We Have A Wide Selection of Accessories to Match Your Kimono
At Kimono Rental Waraku, we believe that accessories are just as important as the kimono itself. While most rental shops offer a selection of kimono styles, we take it a step further by providing a wide range of trendy and traditional accessories to complete your look. Whether you’re going for a classic aesthetic or something more modern, you can mix and match freely to express your personal style. From elegant kanzashi (ornamental pin) to eye-catching headdresses and floral pieces, our accessory selection lets you get creative. With over 100 hair accessories to choose from, you’re sure to find something that brings your outfit together. At Waraku, it’s not just about wearing a kimono—it’s about creating a fashion-forward look that’s all your own and enjoying a memorable day out in Asakusa.
7. 24/7 Online Reservations & Same-Day Booking Available
You can make a reservation online anytime, from anywhere—24 hours a day. Our booking system is updated in real time, so you can always check the latest availability. Cancellations can also be made through the website, and there’s no cancellation fee if done by the day before. You can even make last-minute bookings up to an hour before your rental time, all easily done online.
＊Same-day bookings may not be available depending on the number of existing reservations.
8. We Provide Beautiful Kimono Dressing, Perfect for Sightseeing
Our store employs many certified kimono dressers with national licenses. For kimono dressing suited for sightseeing, it’s important to find the right balance. While a beautifully elegant kimono requires a tight, secure fit, it can make walking and maintaining good posture more difficult. Kimono dressing suited for walking around requires a slightly looser fit to ensure comfort and allow for easier movement, making walking more comfortable and enjoyable. We strive to achieve the perfect balance between both, ensuring a beautiful and practical kimono fitting.

Can junior and senior high school students rent a kimono without a guardian?
With our most popular Student Discount Plan, junior and senior high school students can rent women’s kimonos by simply showing their student ID. There’s no need for a guardian to accompany them.

How many large sizes do you have available?
Our selection of larger sizes is more limited compared to other sizes, but we offer exclusive designs that aren’t available at other stores. These include sharp designs that create a slimming effect and cute, girly kimonos, all carefully chosen by our female staff.

If you’re unsure whether a kimono will fit your body type, please feel free to contact us!
Is it possible to stay warm while renting a kimono in winter?
Our foreign customers often mention how cold Japan gets during the winter. That’s why we recommend preparing for the cold weather. Feel free to bring your own warm innerwear like heattech, stick-on heat pads, or a scarf or stole. We also offer optional items to keep you warm, such as haori (coat), fluffy scarves, and colorful stoles. These are especially popular during the peak winter season, so if you’re interested, please let our staff know in advance.
Customer Reviews of Kimono Rental Waraku Asakusa Store
Our shop opened in Asakusa in 2018, and since then, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming many customers. We’re committed to providing excellent service so that every visitor leaves satisfied and wants to return. While we’ve made a few mistakes along the way, we’ve learned from them and worked hard to continuously improve. During the COVID-19 pandemic, tourist numbers dropped, and many kimono rental shops faced difficult times. Even then, our customers supported us with kind and encouraging words. Thanks to that support, our team stayed motivated and continued working with one goal in mind: to ensure our customers are satisfied.
It means a lot when someone says, “I had fun!” or “Thank you—I’ll come again!” These words encourage our staff and remind us why we do what we do.
We aim to continue contributing to tourism in Asakusa and to share the beauty of kimono and Japanese culture with both international visitors and the younger generation in Japan.
Thank you so much for everything today—from helping me choose a yukata to the dressing, hairstyling, and even the fun conversations. It had been a long time since I last wore a yukata, so I felt a little shy at first, but I ended up creating such a wonderful memory.
Thanks so much for the cute kimono, hair accessories, and hairstyle! I’ve made another great memory from my trip to the Shinbashi Enbujo theater.
Thanks so much for the beautiful kimono dressing and hairstyling yesterday! I had such a fun and memorable day.
