The entire kimono rental process, including selection, fitting, and professional styling, typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This duration can vary depending on your chosen plan and how quickly you make your selections. For a more elaborate style or optional additions, it might take a little longer to ensure everything is perfectly arranged for your day of exploration in Osaka.
For maximum comfort under an Osaka kimono rental, it's best to wear thin, close-fitting undergarments, such as a camisole or a thin T-shirt and shorts. Many rental shops provide a juban (underkimono) to wear over your personal clothes. Avoid bulky clothing, as the kimono requires a relatively flat silhouette. Bras are generally worn, but a soft, non-padded bra or bralette is often preferred for a smoother look and comfort.
Using the restroom while wearing an Osaka kimono rental requires a bit of care. The most common method is to gather the bottom half of the kimono, including all layers, and lift them up in front of you, securing them with one hand or tucking them into your obi (sash). This prevents the garment from touching the floor. Be sure to check that all layers are lifted before proceeding to ensure cleanliness and comfort.

It's a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
