Retro coordination with antique kimono for couples
Antique kimono are hugely popular now!
They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and the ways you can match them with accessories are endless ♡
At Rikawafuku Kamakura Store, you can choose any kimono with any plan, so there is no extra charge for antique kimono. You can easily find your favorite one!
A simple background or a shop with an antique atmosphere matches well with many Kamakura spots!
This time, the coordination is in azuki (red bean) tones.
On cold days, pairing it with a black tippet, lace inner, or fur bag (+500 yen each) is a perfect match♬
By tying the look together with black, the retro vibe of the antique kimono really stands out♡
The red *heko-obi* (soft sash) with added tulle makes the back look gorgeous too (+500 yen).
For hair accessories, a red flower was chosen.
Even with short hair, curling the surface or adding a hair accessory can change the impression ✿
The man chose a green kimono with a light brown haori coat!
The key to coordinating antique kimono is to match colors in the kimono with shoes or accessories.
Here too, the yellow in the kimono is matched with the obi cord!
Even with patterns, the look feels cohesive and not messy ♡
This rental plan is the Kamakura Kimono Couple Plan.
Wa Café — TOSHIMAYA Karyo Hachikouji —
If you’re renting a kimono in Kamakura and heading to a café, why not go somewhere stylish?
Just a 6-minute walk from Kamakura Station, we visited *Toshimaya Karyo Hachikouji*, a café by Toshimaya, famous for *Hato Sabure*!
It’s also close to the Rikawafuku Kamakura Store, and the garden is beautiful♬
This time, we tried the authentic *warabi mochi*!
The soft, springy texture with kinako (roasted soybean flour) was the perfect match!
The white-themed interior and delicious Japanese sweets go perfectly with antique kimono ♡
Besides this, they also serve *zenzai* (sweet red bean soup) and *anmitsu* (agar jelly with toppings).
With colorful kanten jelly and toppings, they are definitely Instagram-worthy!
A short walk away, you’ll also find the big Hato Sabure store, so make sure to check it out♬
