Common Questions & Concerns — And How We Solve Them!

“I’m not sure which plan to choose…”

Don’t worry — picking the right plan is super easy once you narrow it down by your gender, the number of people in your group, and whether you’re a student.
At Kimono Rental Waraku Arashiyama, all of our plans include:
・A complete Kimono set
・Hair styling for women
・And access to any Kimono in the shop — no extra charge
So you don’t need to stress over options like “Does this plan include hair?” or “Is this Kimono more expensive?” Just choose the one that best fits your situation!
Still unsure? Feel free to contact us through our inquiry form — we’re happy to help you find the perfect plan!

“Can I decide on optional add-ons when I arrive?”

Absolutely! Even if you didn’t select any add-ons during your booking, you can always choose them on the day of your rental. Most options are just ¥550 each, so you can adjust your Kimono coordination depending on your budget, the weather, or your mood that day.
We offer a wide range of popular extras like lace collars and obi cords, and you can check them out in person before deciding. Just keep in mind that during busy seasons (like March or fireworks festivals), certain items might sell out — so pre-booking your favorites is always a safe bet.

“I’m worried there won’t be a size that fits me…”

No worries here either! We’ve got Kimonos for:
Women from approx. 145cm–175cm (4’9’’ to 5’9’’)
Men from approx. 155cm–190cm (5’1’’ to 6’3’’)
Most of our Kimonos are free-size, but we also carry larger options (around 2L for women and 3L for men), including longer/wider obi belts, and a full range of zori sandals and tabi socks in multiple sizes.
If you’re unsure what fits best, just ask one of our friendly staff — we’ll help you look great and feel comfortable!

“It’s my first time renting or wearing a Kimono, and I’m a bit nervous…”

That’s totally okay — you’re exactly the kind of guest we want to help! At Waraku, every plan includes everything you need to enjoy your Kimono experience, from the Kimono and obi to shoes, bag, accessories, and hair styling — there’s nothing you need to bring.
Our pricing is simple and transparent, with no hidden costs, so even first-time renters can feel confident. And if you’re unsure about styling or coordination, just talk to our team! Our experienced and friendly staff will help you look your best with pro-level dressing and hairstyling advice.
