◇Choose a Western-style kimono: It is safer to wear a Western-style kimono because the sleeves will not touch the floor.
◇A private room with ample space: Especially for women, the obi obi has more volume than the clothes, so you want to make sure you have enough space to prevent your kimono from touching the wall and getting dirty.

How to walk while wearing a kimono
When you are wearing a kimono, try to walk with a better posture than usual.
- Keep your feet slightly inside your thighs or straight
- Shorten your stride
- Lift the hem slightly when going up and down stairs
Walking with long strides can cause your clothes to fall apart, so be sure to take short strides!
How to eat while wearing a kimono
- Put a handkerchief over your lap to avoid staining your kimono
- When taking a glass while eating, hold down one cuff
When eating, sit at the table with the front of your kimono slightly raised. While choosing food, be careful not to let the sleeves of your kimono touch the food.
Behavior while wearing kimono
Standing position
The most important thing is to keep your back straight. It’s a good idea to stand with your legs slightly turned inwards.
When you raise your hand
When raising your hands, hold the cuffs below your shoulders so that your upper arms are not visible.
When sitting on a chair
Gently lift the front of the kimono with both hands so that the hem of the kimono does not get disturbed when you sit down. Be careful not to open your legs too wide when sitting.
Beware of suspicious calls when renting kimono
In Kyoto, there have been cases of suspicious people asking young women wearing kimonos to take their photos, so be careful.
The trick is that she says she will send the photos she took on LINE and persistently tries to exchange her contact information.
Please decline or block them immediately.
