Yukata for Travelers, Kimono for Residents – Diverse Customers from Around the World

2025年09月30日

Many overseas visitors come to our shop looking for yukata first. Yukata are popular as relaxing home wear or as souvenirs, often in the 10,000–20,000 yen range, making them easy to choose and take home. Sizing is not such a strict issue, and that is part of their appeal.

On the other hand, foreigners who live in Japan or stay long-term sometimes choose custom-made items from fabric, and they may look for more formal kimono, haori, or hakama.

In fact, our customers are very diverse. Some are inspired by Japanese culture, manga, movies, period dramas, or the image of the samurai. Recently, partly influenced by the TV drama SHŌGUN, some visitors have been interested in silk and other traditional fabrics, as well as hakama. It is fascinating to see people from around the world, each with different backgrounds, coming to look for men’s kimono – something I never imagined when I started this business.

Men’s Kimono Takemoto has two locations in Ginza. At our main store, you can find a wide selection including silk kimono and haori. At our Ginza 1-chome store, we also carry more affordable yukata in the 10,000–20,000 yen range, popular among travelers as souvenirs. Depending on your purpose and budget, both stores are ready to welcome you.

Conclusion
From travelers who want to choose an easy yukata to cultural enthusiasts seeking formal kimono, people from all over the world visit us. We look forward to welcoming you at our two locations in Ginza.
