Why RIKAWAFUKU is Chosen from the Many Kimono Rental Shops in Kyoto

Providing Reliable Services
with Faithfulness to the Basics
Kimono rental shops promote themselves in various ways, such as offering affordable prices, a wide selection of kimono, and creating cute coordinated outfits for customers.
Particularly in Kyoto, there is fierce competition due to the large number of kimono rental shops.
What RIKAWAFUKU Kyoto prioritizes among this competition is "faithfulness to the basics."
First and foremost, it aims to create an environment where staff can work comfortably to provide excellent service. Ensuring that customers have a wide variety of kimono to choose from and multiple popular kimono options available when they visit is essential.
Since Kyoto is a popular tourist destination, many customers come from distant places, often wanting to explore multiple locations within a limited timeframe. RIKAWAFUKU Kyoto recognizes this and constantly works on streamlining its operations and improving kimono dressing and hairstyling skills.
If issues arise, such as low stock or limited options, problems that can be resolved with investment are promptly addressed. Customers are encouraged to voice any concerns or dissatisfaction after using the services.
