Have you heard of a denim kimono? Dress in one before you start posing everywhere at Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarters! Here at KURASHIKI KIMONO KOMACHI (倉敷着物小町), you will be able to experience this uncommon fusion. With just 6,050 yen, you will be able to enjoy all that Okayama Prefecture has to offer, both denim and Japanese culture.
Kojima District, located in the southwest of Kurashiki City, is Japan’s denim mecca. The quality of Japanese denim is so superior that many people are prepared to pay more than $300 for a pair!
KURASHIKI KIMONO KOMACHI is the first kimono rental shop to offer its customers denim kimonos. If you want to own one, you can buy one!!
