Traditional Japanese culture! Experience wearing a yukata and try ikebana, flower arrangement!

Enjoy the atmosphere of traditional Japan with a yukata, the essence of summer fashion. While these cotton kimonos have been worn for over 1,000 years, modern designs have made them incredibly popular among younger generations and fashion-sensitive travelers. This blend of tradition and style remains a highlight of any Tokyo trip.

Experience yukata in the center of Tokyo in Shinjuku!

This casual yukata experience is available at the Keio Plaza Hotel with the “Easy Kimono (Yukata) Experience” plan. Not only will you be lent a beautiful set, but professional staff will also help you put it on, set your hair, and take a commemorative photo. The set includes traditional geta (wooden clogs), kanzashi (hair pins), and a kinchaku (pouch), making it an incredible deal.

Of course, you’re allowed to go out and wander around the city freely once you’re all dressed up! The Keio Plaza Hotel is located in Shinjuku right in the center of Tokyo, so you can walk around the skyscraper district of Shinjuku, or hop on a train and head to some other popular sightseeing spots around the city! Just by putting on the yukata, you’ll find a whole new way to enjoy Tokyo.
