Buying trial coupons online is convenient and fast! Just go to the store and provide the barcode to the store. There are quite a lot of styles, so you won’t be overwhelmed by the colors on the road. It is recommended to make an appointment early to avoid the crowds~

The kimono rental experience was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly helpful, assisting with every detail to ensure the kimono fit perfectly. The selection was stunning, offering a wide range of beautiful designs. Wearing the kimono made the day feel extra special, and I highly recommend this shop to others!

The boss and staff were so kind, and they did my hair and waistband so nicely that I took pretty pictures! I was worried because there weren't any pictures of the hair accessories, but there are so many pretty ones! I feel so good because I got it done so well and at such a low price~~~ It was hard to find the entrance, but you have to go into the coffee shop and go up the stairs to the second floor!

Very friendly and fast. The selection was nice and it was just outside a station. We got there late but they didn't penalize us. They lock the doors after 5pm so you must return the yukatas before 5pm or you'll get penalized. The hair was also really quick and pretty. We also got free Keychain after returning them!

The service staff is very kind and professional, and will give some advice. The place is small, but the guests seem to have made reservations in advance, so it will not be particularly crowded or rushed.
