Kamakura Kimono Rental Waraku

Same-day reservationsDo you have any of these problems?

Concern Point 1
I hear that you can't wear a kimono at a kimono rental store unless you make a reservation, but do I still need to make a reservation?
Answer1
We will respond to your needs! You can make a reservation on the day of your visit with Kamakura Kimono Rental Waraku! You can make a reservation on the web or by phone on the same day.
This makes it possible to use this service when you have a sudden idea or when you need hospitality in a hurry. In other kimono rental shops, there are cases where the price differs between same-day reservation and reservation up to the day before.... Don't you ever give up and think that it would have been better to rent until the day before, when you can rent at a lower price for the same service? But don't worry! At Kamakura Kimono Rental Waraku, there is no price change whether you make a reservation on the day or the day before.

Points for same-day reservations

Point 1
 When renting a kimono for the day at the Kamakura store, the important thing is the time it takes to depart

After you come to the store, you will go through the reception. After the reception, there are many things to choose from!
Not only kimono, but also obi, kimono bags, hairstyles and hair ornaments. Anyway, girls have a lot to choose from. The dressing itself takes about 15 minutes, and the hair set also takes about 15 minutes. It is best to allow about an hour for changing luggage, reception, and choosing. Since many of our customers have reservations in the morning, it is also important to aim for available time in the afternoon. The last reception is at 4:00 p.m., so if it takes 45 minutes to an hour to prepare, the walking time is about 30 to 45 minutes. We are a 5-minute walk from "Kamakura Station" and a whopping 0-minute walk from "Komachi-dori"! It is only a 5-minute walk to "Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine," a famous sightseeing spot, and with easy access to major sightseeing spots in Kamakura, you will surely be able to fully enjoy sightseeing even in a short stroll!
In addition, since we start dressing customers in the order in which they select their kimonos, the earlier kimono/accessories are decided upon, the earlier we can prepare for the wedding.
