It does not matter.
The staff is well-prepared a simple manual with English and logo marks.

you can just point to the manual to communicate.
After a simple explanation,
do the payment then.

Only cash is accepted at this moment.
The progress is about 15-20 minutes.
Please note that, Japan's winter is relatively cold.
If you wanna put layer under the kimono,
remember don't have the high collar ones.
Coz you know one of the points for kimono is
to show the naked neck!
In general,
it is said that it is better to take off the bar while wearing Kimono.
Coz Kimono is wearing pretty tight,
if you are afraid of pressure on your upper body,
you might think of taking off.
But it depends,
do the comfortable way yourselves.
After putting on kimono,
a gift is prepared for you!
In general,
other rental stores would only available for rental.
But Rinka,
they give out as a gift to all guests!
※Either Pouch or small handbag
Put the clogs into the plastic bags and together with the accessories,
put them all into the bags!
Simple way to return Kimono!
On that day, the staff has given as a big bag with a written address.
So the only thing to do is to put everything rented into the bag.
Noted that put the clogs into the plastic bag.
Seal it and then bring it to the front desk of the hotel
or convenient store for mailing.
※Return on the next day of rental.
※Rinka trusts all the customers while starting this unique service,
so please follow the rule and be a good traveler.
We are impressed by the whole service of Rinka!
Not only the quality of the Kimono
but also the whole progress!
That is Japanese hospitality!
