4. What undergarments are recommended when wearing a kimono for rental in Asakusa?
For comfort and the proper silhouette, it's generally recommended to wear thin, non-bulky undergarments beneath a kimono. A non-wired, soft-cup bra or no bra is often suggested to create a flatter chest line, which is traditional.

5. How can I comfortably use the restroom while wearing a rented kimono in Asakusa?
To comfortably use the restroom while wearing a kimono, it is recommended to carefully lift all layers of the kimono skirt, including the inner slips, holding them up to waist level. Then, tuck these layers into your obi (kimono belt) or hold them securely with one hand. This prevents the fabric from touching the floor and allows for ease of movement.
6. How long does the entire kimono rental process take at Kano Wafuku, including dressing?
The entire kimono rental process at Kano Wafuku, including selecting your kimono, getting fitted, and the professional dressing service, typically takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

8. Can I choose a yukata instead of a kimono for rental at Kano Wafuku during summer?
