Harumi looked absolutely *gorgeous* and the obis she selected worked so well with the lace. Hinata was so cute! It was so fun to watch everyone choose their favorites and to watch the staff put you all together with such care and attention to detail. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Thank you for sharing your family and friends with us.
I wonder if they have a kimono large enough for me, GIGANTOR! At 194cm and 140kg I feel like they'd have to get a tent maker to dress me instead...lol. This looks like an absolutely amazing experience that I would definitely do if I could ever go there. Great video buddy.
I was wondering the same thing at 190cm 136kg it seems unlikely to find a premade kimono at our size, I wonder how expensive it would be to have it custom made
Roland, I'm 190 same weight I have a jinbe that 3L it a little tight so maybe 3L 4L will work. Because were tall we are not as big as someone shorter, the problem might be the kimono is short at 190 I need a 170cm kimono but someone told me it's ok if it short
@@RasmodeusQ if you try kimonoman (samurai Ginza) they specialize in men's kimono. It a little less than $2000 for a custom kimono, haori, juban, and obi they do it in 40~50 days
@@OFAMidoriya yeah... I'd rather just make my own and bring it with me if I go to Japan at that price thanks for the estimate. bonus points if I learn how to put it on and take it off on top of making it as accurate as possible to a "off the shelf" kimono
@@LetsaskShogo You are a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this experience, and in the ways that you all did. I am amazed by how rich this experience of an outing actually is. It is so much more than getting in costume and taking photos. You literally step into a culture steeped in history. You are surrounded by art. You interactively are appreciating all of these fabrics and garments with substance and symbolism, beauty and history. You get to choose! And the sashes! And complementing outfits! I would love to learn how to turn a sash into such beautiful accent bows. I would not have imagined this outing to feel so memorable, but again, it is such a multi-layered experience, I feel as if it is an excursion I have had. I felt this way after exploring the Louvre in Paris. This is not about clothing; it is interactive fine art, and literal fabric of a culture.
I didn’t have a huge desire to visit Japan until I started watching your videos. I’ve traveled to many places but you have really made me want to visit Kyoto one day. Learning about the history and purpose behind many of the traditions from a modern and adaptable persons point of view has been really interesting. You’re all great ambassadors for your culture.
so many things to say 😁 if you're up to it you should "repeat" this video when Nagi turns 3 with all four of you wearing kimonos, (I know they're not) Kazu and Tomoko make a nice couple, your children are growing up fast I enjoy watching family channels where "you" watch the children grow up ("My little homestead") also "you" can so much with your children dressing them up and taking them places etc., I really enjoy your channel 😁
We went to Kyolan last week, rented yukata for me, my wife, and my two daughters all because of this video. We even booked a photographer. We had a WONDERFUL time! Thanks for the recommendation. We are so glad we did this in Arashiyama!
This is exactly what I want to do when I get to visit Japan next year. Thank you so much for the awesome recommendation! 😊 And thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures of your family. So precious 💖
Wow! It took me a while to realize, but this is the SAME kimono dresser that I went to with friends on my first trip to Kyoto last year! Excellent staff and care. The location is great, and the options are uncountable! I hope that you guys enjoyed the time!
I feel like I'd want to spend a whole year exploring Japan and all of its seasons. I love rain, want to experience the Cherry blossom, fall, and winter seasons
So many options to choose 😍 and as a result very well matched colours. Little Nagi and Hinata as always cuties. ❤️I’m happy that all of you gad so much fun. ✨ and that “I love you” part. You both are so lovely together. ❤️
Having been to Kyoto over 50 years ago, it was wonderful to see it once again and see how it has changed but not changed. There is an ephemeral beauty that is Kyoto.
All of your videos are so informative and helpful, and they make me smile. But the thing that made me smile today was something more special. More special than the beautiful kitsuke you all display, more special than the bamboo forest: I heard you Shogo and Harumi say to one another that you love each other. I have so often heard that Japanese people don't typically say this, so when I heard it, it felt so special to me and it made my eyes misty. You are a beautiful family, with your open hearts. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Shogo this video is the best! I really love the process of choosing and picking the kimono! Harumi's kimono was my favorite! Hinata also looked cute as a button! She's got her mom's smile! Also, I was wondering what other occasions do you wear kimono for? The photos of you and your family and Tomoko and Kazu came out so good!
Thank you for leaving a comment! In Japan today we usually only wear kimono in special occasions such as ceremonies! But there are some people like us who wear it for training in traditional culture too😊
I have been to Japan a few times, but always near the Tokyo area. On our next holiday to Japan, hopefully in 2022, we plan to go to Osaka, and visit Kyoto. My daughter and I would love to wear kimonos and explore Kyoto. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for introducing me to this business. I was looking at rental shops and this one is about 5 minutes from my hotel. I cannot wait to use their service at the end of this month!
all the kimono are beautiful and the scenery is too the fact the comapny makes it a whole experience with a photographor and suggested locations is just awesome and is definatly something i would want to do if i ever go visit.
Thank you all for sharing this hidden gem with us - I'm pleased to say we just booked our rental with Kyolan ready for our Japan trip later this year! ❤
I am not a lady and not usually into fashion but I really loved the kimonos. And the family and friends photos were so excellent. Thanks much and be well
Totally cute 3 year old in a kimono. This 'kimono trip' is so nostalgic, and sweet. What a lovely day. Try to do it every year. It wouoldn't have occured to me to rent a kimono. I would have just made them. that's just me. You have young ones that need lots of attention..
I planned to visit Japan before pandemic I planned a lot of things to do in Japan Couldn't come due to pandemic But after seeing your videos I think I missed a lot of things to add to my itinerary Thankyou so much for your videos They are really helpful 🙏
Wow, we were just there two days ago (Nov 22nd) and it was raining ALL DAY. I felt so bad for how wet everyone's feet must have been (of those wearing the geta with their kimono). Still worth it for the photos, no doubt!
Usually they are actual antiques. People used to wear kimono more before WWII but not anymore, so a lot of people get rid of the old ones that have just sat in storage for a very long time.
The kimonos were so beautiful andyour daughter is so cute!i was wondering tho if you rent a kimono its like rented not bought so would you have to return it one the same day just so i know bc i was looking forward to visiting my sister in kyoto so yeah. ありがと!🌸
So I ware a body brace and it has to have clothing under it that is skin tight would a kimono still look OK? I haven't warn a dress in years thank to my braces for my feet to my back
In comparison to Kazu, your kimono was more beautiful, Shogo (no offense to Kazu), but girls kimonos were 👍 Really beautiful park even under rain. Worth visiting shop indeed.
great video, i appreciate your in depth review. im wondering if such places would be ok with respectful foreigners? i know in japan there is many places doubtful to serve foreigners.
It would have been so cool to have visited a kimonoya back when I visited Kyoto 11 years ago. Sadly, I just longingly looked in as my group walked past one.
OMG ! The Dreams to Wear kimonoT///T and your child's are so sooo cute in kimono, of course your wife too ~ so pretty and cool family with very good taste in kimono shop 👍😍
You mentioned that you can only start wearing Kimonos from 3, is there a reason for this? Or is it that that particular Kimono place doesn't cater to anyone who is younger?
Hi Shogo! Thanks for the video and all the information. I just have a question which is would they be able to accommodate someone who is a little larger than normal? Im larger than most but i would really like to try wearing a kimono.
Spending several months in Kyoto, seeing & experiencing Japanese culture has been on my bucket list for years.
Harumi looked absolutely *gorgeous* and the obis she selected worked so well with the lace. Hinata was so cute!

9:24 Haha that's so cute, Shogo saying he also loves the front and Tomoko/Kazu filming Harumis face instead
It's so nice seeing you all enjoy yourselves together, it may be getting a little bit colder outside so please be careful out there.
We filmed this at the end of September, so it wasn’t cold at all at that timing! Thank you so much for your kindness☺️

I would like to just say this video warmed my heart. Shogo, you have such a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing with us 🥰
Words cannot explain how beautiful your family is, Shogo. Loved the video!

11:55 Hinata so cool. =))
now that we know... 14:58 is kawaiiiii!!!
Great editing here I like the Timelapse of the dressing with the conversation audio overlayed.
I loved Harumi's kimono! It's amazing how many combinations you can you can make (obi(s) and accessories). 😍💖
Harumi especially looks so beautiful in her gorgeous kimono!
It’s such a beautiful place and it was really interesting to see how the Kimono are fitted. Thank you for sharing the experience! Keep well 👘🇿🇦🇯🇵
It's great seeing you guys do stuff in one video, I really like the family feeling you give off!!!!!!!
Looks so amazing...such beautiful kimonos and mesmerizing places
magical 😍
💯💕
So happy to see you and your family out and about!!
Nice pictures. The lace kimono is nice! Kazu and Tomoko kimonos matches well too.
Thanks for introducing me to this business. I was looking at rental shops and this one is about 5 minutes from my hotel. I cannot wait to use their service at the end of this month!
I swear to God if i get a opportunity to live in Japan I would never deny it

Thank you all for sharing this hidden gem with us - I'm pleased to say we just booked our rental with Kyolan ready for our Japan trip later this year! ❤
You all looked amazing in the kimonos!
Those japanese are always kind and polite, but also your daughter is so cute and your wife is beautiful I want to come to Japan🇯🇵🙏❤
Just wonderful! I always feel as if I’m right there visiting with you…thank you…
I'd be wayy to stressed trying to pick out which one I love most they're all so beautiful !
Shogo, you made a Really Great Video! You made me wish I was in Japan! Maybe some Day!
I am not a lady and not usually into fashion but I really loved the kimonos. And the family and friends photos were so excellent. Thanks much and be well
Very nice! Keep up the good work!

Couldn't come due to pandemic
But after seeing your videos I think I missed a lot of things to add to my itinerary
Thankyou so much for your videos
They are really helpful 🙏
All of them was so beautiful!
Thank you for your recommendation, this place is on my list. Just waiting for corona pandemic to be over and the Japanese borders open for tourists.
Aw, Hinata is so cute. And very well-behaved.
Renting a kimono is very high on my bucket list! I'm really hoping that I can finally go to Japan in 2022
Hinata is such a natural actress
Your kids sre adorable!
Everyone looked so nice in their kimono!!!
Hinata is such a doll!!!
Love the Kimonos😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I’d love to visit that kimono shop! I’m a tall woman though so hopefully I’d be able to find one. I’m hoping to visit Japan in 2022.
very elegant!🙂
Such beauty!
Shogo San ureshii soo!! I’d like to dress in a vintage silk kimono !!
Wow, we were just there two days ago (Nov 22nd) and it was raining ALL DAY.
I felt so bad for how wet everyone's feet must have been (of those wearing the geta with their kimono). Still worth it for the photos, no doubt!
Question: are the antique kimono reproductions of older syles, or genuine antiques?
I was wondering the same thing!
Usually they are actual antiques. People used to wear kimono more before WWII but not anymore, so a lot of people get rid of the old ones that have just sat in storage for a very long time.
The antique kimono here are real antique ones! But as the professional dresser was saying, there are some newly produced “antique” kimono too!
14:15 Shogo. My man. =))
Tbh shogo i do love japan's clothing industry but not like those shopping brands like uniqlo but those traditional clothing like kimono.
The kimonos were so beautiful andyour daughter is so cute!i was wondering tho if you rent a kimono its like rented not bought so would you have to return it one the same day just so i know bc i was looking forward to visiting my sister in kyoto so yeah. ありがと!🌸

The intro music name please! Fantastic video as always
I remember visiting Arashiyama I wish I had known about that kimono rental store.
Shogo san, could you make video about difference between man and woman yukata and kimono?
Thank you
Beautiful 😍
It would have been so cool to have visited a kimonoya back when I visited Kyoto 11 years ago. Sadly, I just longingly looked in as my group walked past one.
The girls kimonos was beautiful.

Would I need to come in wearing the white v-neck? Like is that color specifically required?
You mentioned that you can only start wearing Kimonos from 3, is there a reason for this? Or is it that that particular Kimono place doesn't cater to anyone who is younger?
After seeing your video i really wanna visit kyoto and try on a kimino😂😂😂
We're planning to go see Kyoto this November, I was wondering if they also have kimono for plus size/ big girls? Thank you! ❤️
My friends and I are planning to go see Kyoto this November, I was wondering if they also have kimono for plus size/ big girls? Thank you! ❤️
Is it ok if i go to japan but bringing and wearing my hakama Shogo ?
Do I have to book the photo shoot section ahead of time?
Is it expensive for all those service including photo taken? And how long is rental?Arigato😊
I’m working hard to study abroad in Japan. What would you recommend for work in japan?
Shogo-san would you suggest wearing a Kimono in Febuary? its pretty cold no? any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you
Hi Shogo! Thanks for the video and all the information. I just have a question which is would they be able to accommodate someone who is a little larger than normal? Im larger than most but i would really like to try wearing a kimono.
I heard Kyoto is the heart of kimono that be other city or village have kimono to try on if your not in Kyoto?
I need a super sumo size.... about Tochinoshin size..
Do we need to make reservation in advance for the kimonos?
Is advance booking required? Can I not simply walk in? What is the cost per person and how much time it takes?
Do they have kimonos for 1 year olds?
