Hello! It’s Tomocchi ☆
Antique kimonos are a perfect match for Nagasaki’s exotic nature.
Situated in the main area of Nagasaki city among specialty restaurants and shops “Kimono Hoppen” opened on February 1st!
This salon, which exclusively rents kimonos, is sister-store to “Nagasaki Kagamiya” which is popular among foreign tourists as a guesthouse that also rents kimonos.
“Welcome!” (o´∀`o)ノ
The lady with the lovely smile is the okami, or store proprietress, Ichihara Yukari.
This vivacious lady quit her job at an event company and put her wide travel experience to use by opening a guesthouse and kimono rental store with her husband.
“Whether it be everyday sightseeing or a date with a special someone, I want to make our guests’ occasions just a little more memorable with these unique ‘Nagasaki style’ antique kimono♪”
Let’s take a look at these kimonos!
As we open the sliding stain glass door…

They also have an abundance of cute hair ornaments ☆ They even have kimonos for men!
