It is recommended to wear light, breathable, and form-fitting undergarments, such as thermal wear, thin t-shirts, and close-fitting pants. This not only keeps you comfortable but also helps with layering and securing the kimono, preventing unnecessary wrinkles or affecting its silhouette. Avoid clothing with high necklines or long sleeves.
When wearing a kimono, the correct way to overlap the collar is 'left over right,' meaning the left panel of the kimono is placed over the right panel. This is an important cultural distinction in Japan between the living and the deceased, and it is crucial to adhere to it. Absolutely avoid placing the right collar on top to show respect and comply with cultural etiquette.
It is feasible to use public transportation while wearing a kimono or yukata, but you need to be mindful of your movements. It's advisable to walk with small steps, lifting the hem slightly when boarding or alighting from vehicles or using stairs to avoid tripping or soiling your attire. Try to protect your clothing from being crushed in crowded areas and maintain an elegant demeanor. The 'Komachi Komachi' experience shop is conveniently located in the heart of Hakata.
Yes, to ensure a smooth experience and to choose your preferred kimono or yukata style, we strongly recommend making a reservation in advance.

By booking through KKday, you can confirm your rental date, time, and package beforehand, avoiding on-site waiting and making your itinerary smoother and more convenient, ensuring you get the style you like.
Using the restroom while wearing a kimono requires some technique. Upon entering the restroom, it's recommended to lift the hem of your kimono from front to back and carefully tuck the multiple layers of the skirt into your obi or secure them at your chest, ensuring the fabric doesn't touch the floor. Move gently and slowly to avoid messing up your outfit or causing inconvenience.

Fukuoka Hakata experiences hot and humid summers, so it's advisable to prioritize renting a yukata.
