What to Wear Under Your Kimono (For Ladies)

Undergarments: A traditional Kimono silhouette looks best with a flat chest. Please avoid push-up bras. We suggest wearing a sports bra, a wireless bra, or one that has a low-cut back.

Layering: If you are shy or worried about the cold, feel free to wear leggings, a tank top, or a camisole underneath.

Important: Please avoid wearing tights, as you will need to wear traditional Kimono socks (Tabi).

Colors: During the summer, please choose white or flesh-colored undergarments.

Hair & Makeup: We recommend wearing your hair up in a bun and applying slightly stronger makeup than usual—this looks more authentic and vibrant in photos! Please complete your hair and makeup before arriving.

Professional hair/makeup service is available with pre-booking (5,000 yen for one / 10,000 yen for both).–

Note: Hair accessories are available to use free of charge.

What to Wear Under Your Kimono (For Men)
