Putting on a kimono is difficult and it is said that only 2% of Japanese people can do it themselves. In our kimono creation experience, you can alter a vintage kimono so that it can be put on in 3 minutes.

People in Japan and from 45 other countries around the world have taken part in this experience to date.

The kimono you make is yours to keep so you can easily enjoy wearing it at sightseeing spots around Japan whenever you like.

An antique kimono is made to fit Japanese people from a long time ago, so if worn without any alterations it will be too short.

A kimono made in this experience is great for tall people and a perfect fit for everyone. Of course, it also looks just like a traditional kimono.

Men's kimono are different from women's and do not have the part called the "ohashiyori" so the length cannot be adjusted.
