FAQs
1. Is it appropriate for foreigners to wear a kimono when visiting places like Meiji Shrine?
Yes, it is generally considered acceptable and even a respectful way to engage with Japanese culture for foreigners to wear kimonos, especially when visiting cultural sites like Meiji Shrine. To ensure cultural sensitivity, choose a quality rental and wear it properly. SHIBUI KIMONO provides guidance on appropriate wearing and offers a wide selection for a respectful and enjoyable experience.
2. What should one wear underneath a kimono for the most comfortable experience?
For optimal comfort and a proper fit, it's recommended to wear light, thin undergarments. Avoid bulky clothing. A thin camisole or tank top paired with shorts is usually sufficient.

SHIBUI KIMONO staff can offer specific advice during your fitting.

While Meiji Shrine does not enforce a strict dress code, visitors are encouraged to dress respectfully, recognizing its status as a sacred site. Clean, modest attire is appropriate.

Please refrain from wearing hats or overly revealing clothing when entering the main worship areas.
