Kimono Rental Rikawafuku Kawagoe Store

Kawagoe's preserved kurazukuri merchant quarter is one of the Kantō region's most evocative backdrops, and dressing the part transforms a pleasant day trip into something genuinely memorable. Rikawafuku's Kawagoe store has earned a strong following: nearly a thousand Google reviewers award it 4.7 stars: for the quality of its kimono selection and the care of its staff in helping guests dress and style themselves before heading out into the town.

When to go

The store opens daily at 9 AM, and arriving early gives you the best pick of garments and the quietest streets for photographs. Autumn foliage and spring blossom seasons draw the largest crowds to Kawagoe, so weekday mornings during those periods are the calmest window. The store closes at 6 PM every day of the week.

“Great experience renting the kimonos! Ladies were very experienced and thus very fast with helping us get dressed + getting our hair done! Would recommend :)”— Candice Chin, Google review
