Can I extend the rental time?

Yes. If you wish to use the costumes longer than 3 hours, please contact us in advance to arrange an extension.

11

Do you have Japanese kimono?

We specialize in Ryuso, the traditional clothing of Okinawa, rather than mainland Japanese kimono.
Passed down from the time of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Ryuso has its own unique colors, atmosphere, and cultural background that make it different from kimono in mainland Japan.
It is a one-of-a-kind cultural experience that feels especially beautiful when enjoyed in Okinawa’s scenery.

12

Can we celebrate Shichi-Go-San with a Ryuso experience?

Yes. Many families choose to celebrate Shichi-Go-San, a traditional Japanese celebration for children, by wearing Okinawan Ryuso together.

Instead of formal studio portraits, you can enjoy relaxed photos in the historic streets and natural surroundings of Kitanakagusuku Village.

You're welcome to take your own photos with your smartphone, or you can add an optional professional photographer for beautifully captured family memories.

13

Can I give a Ryuso experience as a gift?

Yes! Gift cards are available and make a wonderful present for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or any special occasion.
