Product Info
The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.
• Ookini is headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. Since March 2024, its four stores have been gradually listed on the KKday platform. As of April 2025, the cumulative number of orders has exceeded 24,000, successfully serving nearly 60,000 people from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Europe and the United States. It is currently the number one selling (most popular) kimono experience store in the Kyoto area on KKday.
• Now, Ookini has officially entered Tokyo, with its first store located in the prime area of Asakusa Kaminarimon. The store spans two floors and covers an area of approximately 230 square meters, equivalent to 4-6 ordinary kimono experience stores (large and not crowded).
• Ookini not only strictly controls the quality of kimonos (fabric and craftsmanship), but also has extremely high requirements for dressing techniques and details. Moreover, the staff are very friendly and kind (a comment frequently mentioned by customers). At the same time, they actively promote industry standards and promise to "reject hidden costs and advocate for transparent pricing without markups".
• Finally, relying on the trust of over 140 global guests daily in the Kyoto area, we solemnly promise you: we will remain true to our original aspirations and continuously improve in terms of kimono quality, dressing techniques, and friendly hospitality. We have further expanded our services to include: complimentary kimono stain insurance, free luggage storage with next-day return, free umbrella lending, and winter thermal underwear/hand warmers, among other services, to ensure your entire stay is enjoyable.
• In addition, if you are undecided about which kimono to choose, we recommend that you purchase the 600+ option, as you have the right to adjust your preferred kimono choice after arriving at the store. Ookini Asakusa Rai Store looks forward to your visit!
It's 160 meters from Asakusa Station to Ookini Asakusa Kaminarimon Store and 130 meters from Kaminarimon Gate; it's located opposite the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) photo spot.
The spacious 230㎡ area (equivalent to 4-6 experience stores) is well-organized, allowing you to say goodbye to the crowds and hassles of ordinary experience stores and enjoy a relaxed experience.
The store has a total of 2,000+ sets of kimonos/yukatas; among them (200+ komon / 200+ lace / 200+ furisode...), it is probably the store with the largest number.
Kimono include: infants/children (55cm - 150cm); men (150cm - 195cm), making up for the industry's shortcomings of small store space, which leads to fewer men's kimono displays; therefore, the store should also have the most complete range of children's kimono/men's kimono sizes and the most variety of patterns (more than 160 combinations).
Besides couples and families, we also specialize in large groups. For groups of 5-10 people, a normal reservation will usually be completed within 60 minutes. For groups of 15 or more, please make a reservation 24 hours in advance so we can provide additional staff to serve you.
In particular, the lace kimono, furisode, and visiting attire are very detailed, which greatly tests the costume designer's skill and patience (pursuing details without being perfunctory). This is Ookini's number one selling (most highly rated) design in the Kyoto area on KKday.
In terms of hairstyle design, we will consider the style of the kimono while respecting your preferences, and will also match it with unique hair accessories (some of which are handmade), carefully braided; to make the photos stand out and make you the focus of everyone's attention.
Oookini Kimono has its own photography brand, "JBS photo," with 6 full-time photographers in Tokyo and over 30 collaborating photographers. We promise no limit on the number of participants in a photoshoot, and the shoot starts from the moment we arrive at the location. We offer 24-hour photo delivery (you can discuss your style with the photographer on the day of the shoot, and we are familiar with the photography styles of most regions, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe, America, Thailand, and Vietnam).
The staff are professional, friendly, and approachable – a frequent feature of customer reviews! English, Mandarin, and Japanese are available 24/7; in addition, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese can be easily communicated using gestures and translation software.
Our pricing is transparent with no extra charges (upgrades require a surcharge). Your plan includes all necessary accessories, so please feel free to purchase. Furthermore, services such as "complimentary stain insurance, free luggage storage, overnight return, and next-day return" are all free! We are committed to ensuring your pleasant experience and convenience!

FAQ
Look for shops with excellent locations that minimize travel time. For instance, some popular kimono rental stores in Asakusa are ideally situated just 160 meters from Asakusa Station and 130 meters from Kaminarimon. This prime location allows for quick access to iconic photo spots like Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise-dori without a long walk in your kimono. Additionally, choose a shop known for a vast selection of styles and a comfortable, uncrowded fitting environment, as some provide two-story spaces of 230㎡.
For a comfortable kimono rental experience, it's generally recommended to wear light, thin innerwear that won't add bulk. A simple camisole and shorts or leggings are usually sufficient. The rental shop will provide specialized undergarments (juban) and tabi socks, which are essential for the proper fit and hygiene of the kimono. Focus on layers that are easy to remove and put on, as the kimono dressing process involves several specific steps to ensure a proper and elegant look.
Kimonos are typically formal attire, worn year-round, featuring multiple layers and often silk fabrics. Yukatas are lighter, casual garments, mainly worn in summer, especially for festivals. Furisode is a highly formal kimono characterized by its long, flowing sleeves, typically worn by unmarried women for special occasions. Lace kimonos offer a modern, fashionable twist, incorporating intricate lace designs for a unique look. Reputable rental shops in Asakusa often boast extensive collections of over 2000 kimonos and yukatas, including hundreds of lace and furisode options.
When sitting in a kimono, avoid wide stances or directly bending at the waist, which can wrinkle the fabric or loosen the obi. Instead, sit gracefully by keeping your knees together and slightly shifting your weight. For chairs, sit only on the front edge to keep the back of the kimono straight. When sitting on the floor, gently gather the skirt of the kimono and sit with your knees to one side or in a seiza (kneeling) position if comfortable, to maintain the garment's elegance.
While walk-ins might be accommodated, making a reservation for your kimono rental experience, especially at popular stores like OOKINI Asakusa Kaminarimon, is highly recommended. Reserving in advance through KKday ensures your preferred time slot and chosen styles are available, guaranteeing a smooth and unhurried experience. KKday offers a convenient booking process, allowing you to secure your rental ahead of time and avoid potential wait times, making your visit to Asakusa more efficient and enjoyable.
Yukatas are best suited for warmer weather, typically from late spring to early autumn (May to September), and are perfect for summer festivals, fireworks displays, or casual strolls around Asakusa due to their lighter fabric and single-layer construction. Kimonos are more versatile for year-round wear, offering warmth in colder months with their multiple layers, and are suitable for more formal occasions or when you simply prefer the traditional, elegant aesthetic, regardless of the season.
Many quality kimono rental shops in Asakusa offer essential convenience services to enhance your experience. These often include complimentary luggage storage, allowing you to explore unencumbered. Some shops also provide the option for next-day returns, which is ideal if you wish to enjoy the kimono until late evening without rushing. Additionally, a valuable service is dirt or stain insurance, protecting you from worries about accidental mud splashes or minor spills, ensuring a relaxed experience even on rainy days.
A comprehensive kimono or yukata rental package in Asakusa usually includes much more than just the main garment. Expect professional hair styling, often with intricate designs chosen from a wide selection. Many packages also offer light Japanese-style makeup or a self-service makeup area. You'll receive all necessary accessories, such as an obi (sash), traditional bags, and footwear like zori or geta, all without hidden extra costs. Some premium packages might even include photography sessions.
