How to Choose the Perfect Rental Kimono – Why Simple Designs Stand Out

I want to try renting a kimono at Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Shop, but there are so many options that I can’t decide…

Kimonos at Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Shop come in various styles, from retro to girly, making it quite a challenge to choose the right one for yourself…

At times like this, we recommend kimonos in light colors! In this article, we’ll introduce some simple pink-themed kimonos from the original collection!

※ This article was supervised and created by the Marketing Department of TripFarm Co., Ltd., which operates Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Shop.

Lace kimonos are extremely popular for rentals in Asakusa! Especially white and beige kimonos are frequently rented by high school girls.

If you don’t want to wear a kimono as girly as lace kimonos but prefer something a bit more subdued, simple kimonos are recommended.

In this case, we’ve selected a simple kimono with a white obi from the special collection at Rikawafuku Kimono.

When choosing a simple kimono, keeping the obi area simple as well gives off an elegant look!

Simple Kimonos that Look Great at Retro Cafes in Asakusa!

After renting a kimono in Asakusa, we visited “from afar” located just a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line’s “Tawaramachi Station”!

The interior of the shop is very stylish, with walls that look like bookshelves and dried flowers decorating the space. It’s a recommended spot for taking a break after a day of kimono rental or exploring the area, especially on rainy days!

This time, we enjoyed espresso and pudding. The antique design of the teacups is too cute to resist! The simple kimono blends well with the retro atmosphere of the cafe. Lovely!

Next, we headed to “Photo Studio Coffret,” just a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line’s “Tawaramachi Station”!

While it’s primarily a studio for children and maternity photography, they also have a self-photography studio called “Original” where adults can have their photos taken! This time, we had the privilege of using it for our photoshoot!

With a pure white background and a light pink kimono, you instantly get a girly impression ♡. The brick and dried flower backdrop adds a touch of princess-like charm ♡. When choosing a simple kimono, it’s recommended to go for a stylish hairstyle to create a contrast, so consider rental plans that include hairstyling!
