If you want to spend a full day exploring Asakusa in a kimono, remember these 3 rules: ① Pick a shop just minutes from the station, ② Ensure there are ZERO hidden upgrade fees, and ③ Use a “Next-Day Return” option for night sightseeing.
At MOCOMOCO Asakusa Store, we are just a 3-minute walk from Asakusa Station! We offer flat rates on all new lace and vintage kimonos, free unlimited luggage storage, and cheap couple/student discounts to make your Tokyo trip perfect.
Q. How to avoid tourist traps when renting a kimono in Asakusa?
Asakusa offers beautiful spots like Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise Street, and the Sumida River. Since you will be walking in sandals all day, choosing the right shop is crucial:
- Location: Pick a store right next to the station and Senso-ji so you don’t exhaust yourself walking before taking photos.
- Hidden Fees: Many shops advertise cheap prices but charge ¥2,000+ extra if you select a trendy lace design. Always choose a flat-rate store.
- Luggage Storage: If you bring a suitcase, make sure the shop doesn’t charge you high storage fees per bag!
