Full Tutorial on How to Wear and Move in Yukata at Ryokan Hotels for Men and Women

[@killua_thecatboy]

Wearing a yukata in a Ryokan hotel is truly nice to wear and it looks truly beautiful and elegant as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful video Shogo.

[@jeyaprabhasanjaypragash5828]

Japanese culture is always amazingly beautiful!

[@purpleicicles]

Harumi has such elegant hands - always lovely watching her demonstrate things!

[@theperceptor9287]

Thank you Shogo, your wife and team for sharing this video with us. Very informative how to wear and do different activities wearing a yukata. I've been learning so much about Japanese traditions from your channel, such a beautiful culture. Thank you so much.

[@koganusan]

I love the bathroom demonstration 😂 but really, its so convenient, compared to like if you wear tights and jeans. and itll stay off the floor, if the floor is dirty.

[@dresdenvalareo1002]

This is what I love about this channel. I learn more and more about Japanese Culture. Especially the wardrobe of the culture that i know nothing about 😀

[@jonmarler]

I am at my second ryokan on a trip to Japan, and this is very helpful. My girlfriend just says it’s “common sense” and expected me to figure it out on my own.

[@eepyJay]

I love the patterns! Really cute and fun video! Love the different styles for the obi and the cut of the different yukata for both styles. I'd like to learn about the history behind the exposed nape of the neck on women's yukata!

[@kakalukium]

I got to stay at a ryokan in ashinomaki onsen this past October. This video saved my life. Actually...this channel is the reason I enjoyed my trip so much.

[@daisymilks]

thank you for the great work, Team Shogo! this is so helpful :)

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

this will be very useful for me one day in the future. thanks shogo.

[@aileenpanes8110]

I'm trying this later. Bought a yukata in Kawaramachi kyoto 3 yrs ago and going back to Kyoto in 2 weeks but I forgot how I managed to wear this on my own. Thank you for uploading this video.

[@trmon8890]

Awesome video and very informative. Thank you for sharing

[@TensuraDemon9]

Gotta love that my first question was answered right away .. what to wear underneath, got a giggle over the sleeping position. Thanks for this video!

[@ilmarinen79]

What if you'd need to run or be more agile? Options? Another thing I was wondering if you'd like to go sightseeing farther away would you switch into a kimono then (if you'd still like to wear traditional clothing)?

[@EliotChildress]

At first I was surprised it was such a long video but you covered a lot I hadn’t thought about. Thank you for all the tips. Can you make a video explaining kimono sizes? I recently went shopping fully prepared with my sizes in cm but then felt like a fish out of water when this store had everything in shaku.

[@hawkfeather6802]

I like the designs of your yukatas! They look like scales or chainmail links. I can't walk in a straight line to save my life so I might walk funny in a yukata.

[@katiebroyles8432]

Currently staying at a ryokan and now I feel ready to try the yukata!

[@thegreatmasterninja]

Wow that is a cool yukate , hey shogo If one day u get a ninja costume can you do a tutorial too ?

[@kaltaron1284]

That's impossible because those turn you invisible.

[@coloradowellness8534]

Shogo would be the dopest neighbor

[@SuzuRadio]

I have a question, is it rude to bring your own yukata to a Ryokan? I've been researching traveling in Japan as a larger size and some sources say to bring your own yukata if you don't think you'll fit the average Japanese sizes but I am not sure if this would appear as rude to those running the Ryokan. It's a fear for many plus sized individuals.

[@BillTarling]

I was wondering the same thing, as I expect I would special order a larger size Yukata, before travelling, to bring with me since I' almost 6'6" (197cm) -- so I wouldn't expect hotels to have anything that would fit me... Same issue with shoes [and slippers for indoor wear) since I wear between size 17-19 US Shoes [so I'm fairly certain I would never be able to fit in the provided hotel footwear] -- and actually my biggest fear travelling to Japan would be the loss of my shoes at some point

[@monicab204]

Wonderful explanation! Thank you!

[@LetsaskShogo]

Glad you enjoyed it!✨

[@TimothyLau55]

Tomoko's demonstration is so proper, elegant and cute at the same time. Shogo is doing a better job than many men, but I guess men or even samurai were more relax when they wear yukata in the old days. Social expectation different between men and women, may be?

[@rudymenchaca9340]

Thanks Shogo for that information great my friend

[@rudymenchaca9340]

Thanks Shogo again my friends say hello to everyone in your family prayers for you and yours

[@Simon_Electric]

They look so comfortable.

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

Wonderful dress wear! Very nice! ❤

[@Theorof]

I hope to be able to try this out soon. 👍

[@laarr12000]

RE: Getting up from tatami - There are many people who are unable to get up off the floor the way you demonstrated. There must be an alternative method for those who cannot roll up form their toes.

[@taxsylrc1598]

I'm curious too about this. Considering that a majority of foreign guests may not be able to ( Hi, I know only people who can't), how would getting up work??

[@haroldkoenig3532]

Thank you SO MUCH! Very helpful!

[@ZenSpider40]

I would like to know what the folklore surrounding crows and ravens is in Japan. What are the myths regarding these intelligent birds?

[@Cheetahviper]

A future vid idea could be modern wear of men and women. Besides suits and traditional wear what do typical Japanese people wear?

[@amyj.4992]

"Uhhh this doesn't have any buttons"😂💀😂😂💀

[@Randamono]

Hello shogo! Amazing video as always! On the subject of Ryokan, is there any “samurai themed” ones you could recommend? Thanks for the awesome content!

[@SunStar-lc6sj]

So what would the rough equivalent of US XXL be in Japan? 3L? 4?

[@rudymenchaca9340]

Shogo I bought a hakama with the coat and belt some years ago, I think it’s time to get it out and try it on again I use to practice with my samurai sword and do iaido sorry for the spelling jajaja 😜

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

THANKS :)

[@jerrisgibbs161]

Do ryokan ever offer a plus size option for larger guests? I would be super curious to see you do an episode on larger size kimono/yukata

[@TeeBoyd88]

I would think so as I see Sumo wrestlers wear traditional attire. 🤷‍♀️

[@richardg8587]

Cool people...Nice Vid

[@jimnuzzo8010]

difference types a yukata in ryokan and the ones that you can go outside ? is that adifferent yukatta? of do you wear a summer kimono?

[@katedavis6145]

Great video! Is there a name for the narrow type of obi that is worn with ryokan yukata? And are there any differences between men's and women's ryokan yukata beyond selecting the size? Thanks!

[@grinningidiot]

This is a great video and very informative. I find myself struggling when my wife and I go to ryokan or any events that involves us wearing yukata or kimono and sitting on the floor because I have am unable to bend one knee because of an old injury. This leads to everyone else sitting properly around the table looking great and me laying out sideways with one leg sticking out of my kimono looking a bit like a drunken oni. Any advice for changing that? 😂

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@jupamoers]

Can you keep the Yukata you get from the Ryokan or are they just borrowed for your stay there? Kinda like bath robes in western hotels.

[@lifeofmeiandmr.sriracha385]

Shogo! Do you have to use the Yukata provided by the Ryokan or can I bring my own to the Ryokan? :)

[@anamariaboynton9983]

Many thanks.

[@Disc0rd83]

Many thanks for this video ! I just bought a Yukata in Tokyo, and I have to practice how to work it... I have a question : you said yukata is a kind of pyjama, that is not weared outside the ryokan. Should I suppose that, in summer, japanese people wear kimonos (and not yakata) ? If so, is there kimono for summer and some for winter ?

[@ngoquanghung8516]

Please help me. I have a yukata but it is longer than my body. I don't want to cut it. So help me, how shoul I solve this problem?

[@ngoquanghung8516]

I am in Vietnam.

[@tenneseeangel1293]

I just love the designs on theses Yukatas 🥰, Thank you Shogo for sharing! ❤

[@sejembalm]

Yeah, you must never wrap your robe sash around counter-clockwise. The entire estate of world may come undone!

[@ernestestrada2461]

Having traveled with other Gaijin or foreigners I have seen some gaijin use binder clips or clothespins to hold their yukata sleeves up while eating. I am not saying that this is acceptable. I have watched the wincing expression on the Japanese host or workers faces when they see a binder clip or clothespin on the sleeve.

[@ArveEriksson]

I randomly got curious: In western clothing, they usually put a logo slip, or some flap/tab with washing directions, at the neck or a seam down the side. Where do japanese dressmakers put them? I... haven't actively been looking out for them, I'll admit, but I thought I should spot them even through the KZbin machine.

[@adorabell4253]

Kimono wouldn’t have them. If it’s a silk kimono it’s best to take it to a kimono cleaner because it / cleaned in a very specific way while polyester kimono can be tossed in the wash as with other poly clothes.

[@ihaveproblems9779]

I have spent thirty minutes trying to follow but you go way too fast when explaining the knot. Plus being the same color on both sides, it's extremely hard to see what you're folding and what you're not. I'm not going to be able to make it to the onsen on time because I am trying to get the belt right. 😢

[@MaryTownsendRyokansDomain]

The Woman Yukata has a lot more to do just to wear perfectly then the men 🙂😊

[@marinap2032]

Hello! I just subscribed to your channel. It's super interesting! Can I please ask you for a favor? My stepdaughter is getting married and I would like to write her a wish, written in your beautiful language but I don't know japanese unfortunately. Would you mind to send me a wish for her? We admire your country and culture so much!

[@wizard1399]

Tying an obi seems a lot like tying a necktie.

[@ssshhhjjj192]

Leave it to Japan to make a strict ritual about how to put on and wear you pajamas! (By the way I am not talking 💩, I am a huge fan of this channel and I love Japan and japanese people and am fascinated by Japanese culture! But being a foreigner it is very confusing to me why so many rules and such ritual has to go into how you wear your pajamas!)

[@RadenWA]

Yukata isn’t just a “pajama”, you do wear it outside around the ryokan, to bathing places and even to summer festivals. These methods are simply to make sure it doesn’t look too sloppy and easily fall off, same with how you’d tuck in a shirt, roll up sleeve etc

[@SWEG-zl9ip]

"So i wear shirt " (MMMM INTENSIFIES)

[@eljonnasufi4068]

Hello

[@AlmaRakelK.]

Heya

[@theofilos4202]

Nice patterns of those yukatas! Btw, Shogo you seem that you have taken up weight...🤔🙄

[@lannifincoris6482]

co-pragnent ;-)

[@thejerrylit]

can you sleep with the obi

[@thejerrylit]

I don’t like autocorrect but I meant obi belt
