・The rare "work clothes" rental service provides tourists with many clothing rental services such as kimonos and yukatas, but there are few services that can rent work clothes.

・"Work clothes" are the most suitable clothes for sitting in meditation or working in the workshop. Work clothes are clothes that are easy to wear and move around. Because it was originally used as temple work clothes, it is also the clothing that best embodies the "calm", "stability" and "harmony" elements of the "Zen spirit" among all Japanese clothing.
Therefore, work clothes are not only suitable for wearing while sitting in meditation, but are also a good choice to use when experiencing making handicrafts in traditional craft workshops. In fact to this day, many monks and craftsmen still wear service clothes every day.

・Renting work clothes also plays a role in building a bridge of communication with Japanese people. Unlike kimonos or yukatas, even among Japanese, not many people wear work clothes on a daily basis. Therefore, if you, a foreign tourist, are walking in the streets, experiencing traditional crafts, or going to a restaurant to eat, you will most likely be approached by an interested Japanese person wearing business clothes to chat with you.

・The Japanese version of jeans is "work clothes"
The origins of the smock are temple work clothes, so some people may feel uncomfortable wearing a smock for a walk around town. However, the jeans worn by many people around the world were originally used as work clothes. So if you wear work clothes while traveling in Japan, you will be considered as someone who knows Japanese culture very well. Work clothes are relatively unfamiliar clothing to many foreigners, so they are considered a "hidden gem" in the Japanese clothing industry. It is said that the black turtleneck sweater worn by Zen Buddhist Steve Jobs was inspired by work clothes.

This is a new clothing rental service that can deliver the clothes directly to the hotel where the guest is staying and return them at the hotel. You only need to go to the hotel counter to collect it. When sending work clothes, we will send you a laundry bag and a delivery note for returning the clothes at the same time, so you only need to return them at the hotel counter. Of course, used clothes do not need to be washed.

・The rental "work clothes" are made by "Ida Fiber Co., Ltd.", a high-end work clothes manufacturer. "Ida Fiber" is a manufacturer that mainly produces work clothes. It is located in Gunma Prefecture, the hometown of textiles. Kiryu City. All products are produced in Japan, and each piece of work clothes is carefully crafted by craftsmen. Kiryu City is known as "Nishijin (Kyoto) of the West, Kiryu of the East" and has a history of producing high-end textiles for approximately 1,300 years.

・"Work clothes" are popular because of their flexibility in size. Even if the sizes are the same, the waist width of work clothes has a variability of about 30 cm. In addition, the lapels of the clothes can also be adjusted using ropes. Therefore, if you only choose work clothes based on your height, most people will not have any problems.

・Unlike kimonos or yukatas, "work clothes" do not require cumbersome dressing steps and can be worn easily by anyone. Anyone can wear work clothes easily. Unlike a kimono or yukata, it can be easily put on without any complicated dressing steps. The way of wearing "work clothes" is no different from ordinary clothes, except that some places need to be tied with strings. But it’s just the same concept as tying shoelaces.
Sizes are based on Japanese standards, so if you are a customer from European and American countries, we recommend that you choose one size larger than your usual size (for example, if you usually wear size L, choose size LL).

The top has two strings. After putting on the top of the work clothes, tie the inner rope first and then the outer rope.


There is a rope at the waist of the pants and two ropes at the bottom of the pants (one on each leg). After putting on the pants, first tie the rope around the waist, and then tie the rope around the hem of the pants.
