3 Reasons to Choose Kimono in Yokohama
Why wear kimono in Yokohama?
The Scenery Is Extraordinary

Fewer crowds, more time to take beautiful photos. An open, expansive backdrop that makes kimono truly shine.
Authentic Kimono Dressing
A Nationally Certified Level 1 Kimono Dressing Specialist will refine your look.
Kimono becomes truly beautiful only when it fits naturally with your body. At Kimono Station Rock 岩, dressing is performed by a Nationally Certified Level 1 Kimono Dressing Specialist — the real thing.
Adjusted to each individual’s body shape, the kimono stays in place, stays comfortable, and keeps you looking elegant from morning to evening.
