Founded 100 years ago. Supporting "kimono life" all over Japan.|KIMONO YAMATO

"Kimono seems hard to handle." "The threshold feels high."
Kimono Yamato overturns that image.
Materials and designs you can wear as casually as everyday clothes add color to daily life.

More freedom with kimono

Founded in 1917 (Taisho 6), "KIMONO YAMATO" is one of Japan's largest kimono specialty stores, with over 100 stores nationwide. Alongside traditional kimonos such as furisode and homongi, they continue to propose products that make kimono feel familiar — "washable kimonos" tailored to modern life and stylish yukata. They also offer extensive after-sales services, including dressing lessons and cleaning, making this a brand beginners can rely on with peace of mind.

KIMONO YAMATO

Why "KIMONO YAMATO" Is Chosen | 3 Reasons

0 1

Washable "Yamato Karen"

As the slogan "don't just call it a washable kimono" suggests, the quality is a clear step above plain polyester kimono. With a supple, silk-like texture that resists static, it can still go in your home washing machine. Wearable as everyday clothing without worrying about stains.

0 2

"OUTDOOR KIMONO" collaboration

A collaboration with Japanese outdoor maker "Snow Peak." Under the concepts of "wearable without an obi" and "durable enough for outdoor use," they propose a new form of kimono that fastens with buttons and buckles. Gaining attention worldwide.

0 3

The peace of mind of a nationwide network

Because stores reach across the country, after-purchase support — dressing consultations, cleaning, alterations — is fully in place. The peace of mind of receiving the same service even if you move is a strength only a major specialty store can offer.

Editor's Note

📝 User Perspective

What got me interested in kimono was Kimono Yamato's "Yamato Karen." Made of polyester and machine-washable at home, I have no fear of grabbing coffee at a café or going out on a rainy day. Yet it looks elegant, like silk. I also love the "OUTDOOR KIMONO" collab with Snow Peak. Warm when worn at camp, resistant to sparks from a bonfire — really practical. There's no brand kinder than this for beginners.
