    (This shop is open every day but weekday is more comfortable!! When it's not busy, I believe you will be able to get good advice from shop staff.)
    They are consisted with three stores. The middle one is for men's Kimono and I forgot to shoot there. Sorry, guys!!
    I watched this channel and learned how to dress Kimono for free!!

      Thank you!! Please share to your friend. I just started this channel and very slowly uploading...
      I recommend you to just visit some Kimono recycle shops and if you find something sparks joy to you, consider to buy. No need full set from the beginning. Just take a look and you will get the idea gradually.

    Thank you so much for this video, it's really complete explanation ❤ I really love kimono, but unfortunately, thrift Kimono in the EU is very overpriced. I would love to visit Japan someday with my husband and I want to buy restored/thrift kimono and I will visit your recommended shops (I noted some from your youtube channel, including in this video) 😊 once again, arigatou gozaimasu ❤🙇🏻‍♀️

    is it okay if my friend and I ,as foreigners, wear kimono to see cherry blossom? we're going to Japan this spring and planning on purchasing kimono. We want to experience the wonderful spring. Are there kimono secondhand stores too in Sendai or Aomori?

    • @SuzysDiscoverJapan
      @SuzysDiscoverJapan  4 місяці тому

      Sure!! There is no problem for non-Japanese tourist wear Kimono. If you would like to dress properly like Japanese, I recommend you to go to rental shop and they will dress you and do hair arrangement. You need full set of Kimono including many strings and under garment, so it's too much to purchase everything and it's difficult to dress nicely for the first time. So, I would recommend you to use rental Kimono shop for enjoying wearing Kimono in Japan and to visit Kimono second shop for finding souvenir.
      As I searched on Google, it looks much easier for tourist to rent a Kimono in Sendai than Aomori.
      There are recycle Kimono shop all over the Japan. Google it around the area you go.
      I hope you will have a wonderful trip in Japan!! Enjoy!

      @@wildanwildan3144 Oh, sorry. Even you are two men, it's much easier to rent Kimono and let staff dress you.
      If you wear yourself, you need to buy Nagajyuban(under garment) and strings, too. How to dress men's Kimono is much easier than women's one. You can check some videos on UA-cam.
      Yukata (cotton Kimono for summer something like you can find it at Japanese ryokan) is not suitable for spring season. So be careful when you purchase.
      Samui which I introduced in my other video is pretty easy to wear and comfortable. It looks like Kimono.
      Good luck!!
