The rental allows for personalization, giving you the freedom to wear the kimono in your preferred style with various options.

Rental reception is available from 9:00 to 15:00, and all rented items must be returned to the store by 5:30 pm on the same day. A late return incurs an additional charge of ¥1,100 for each hour, irrespective of the reservation time or day of the week. If returning the next day, either an ID or a ¥10,000 deposit is required, with the deposit refundable upon return.

During colder seasons, it is recommended to wear warm innerwear, ensuring that the top has a deep collar to avoid showing through, and opting for ankle-length bottoms like spats, as Japanese sandals are not suitable for tights. The changing room is shared with both employees and other customers, so wearing innerwear (camisole, petticoat, etc.) during your visit is advised. Simple baggage is accepted as long as it fits within the designated compartment, but valuables, branded items, and precision electrical equipment cannot be accommodated, and the store is not liable for any such items left in their care.

The store does not offer kimono insurance, and a repair fee will be charged for damages such as holes, scratches, stains that cannot be washed off, mud stains, cigarette burn holes, etc. The pricing structure includes ¥7,000 for kimono or yukata, ¥1,000 for obi and options, and ¥500 for underwear.
