One of Japan’s most representative traditional cultures is the kimono. I’m sure many of you are looking forward to trying it on at the kimono rental shops in Japan.

However I’ve had many people asking me about how Japanese feel about foreigners wearing their traditional clothing. From my opinion, I would say that most Japanese people are honored that our traditional clothing is worn and gaining popularity around the world!

…But there's actually one thing that might make some Japanese people uncomfortable. It is when they see people wearing kimono that aren’t properly dressed or don't match the seasons.

Some kimono rental shops provide terrible quality kimono, and they don’t even hire trained kimono dressers so sometimes they dress people incorrectly and make them wear summer kimono in winter or vice versa.

Please be very careful when you choose a kimono rental shop. Always check their websites and reviews to see how other people have rated them. I would recommend you avoid the extremely cheap shops.
