[@_ninthRing_]

Spending several months in Kyoto, seeing & experiencing Japanese culture has been on my bucket list for years.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

Harumi looked absolutely *gorgeous* and the obis she selected worked so well with the lace. Hinata was so cute! It was so fun to watch everyone choose their favorites and to watch the staff put you all together with such care and attention to detail. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Thank you for sharing your family and friends with us.

[@zwatter]

hinata was especially cute when she was spinning around

[@amehayami934]

I agree I want to get me a Kimono and Obi like that.

[@rolandgdean]

I wonder if they have a kimono large enough for me, GIGANTOR! At 194cm and 140kg I feel like they'd have to get a tent maker to dress me instead...lol. This looks like an absolutely amazing experience that I would definitely do if I could ever go there. Great video buddy.

[@RasmodeusQ]

I was wondering the same thing at 190cm 136kg it seems unlikely to find a premade kimono at our size, I wonder how expensive it would be to have it custom made

[@LetsaskShogo]

Roland i’m pretty sure they would have a size for you too! The biggest kimono for men was 3L!✨

[@OFAMidoriya]

Roland, I'm 190 same weight I have a jinbe that 3L it a little tight so maybe 3L 4L will work. Because were tall we are not as big as someone shorter, the problem might be the kimono is short at 190 I need a 170cm kimono but someone told me it's ok if it short

[@OFAMidoriya]

@@RasmodeusQ if you try kimonoman (samurai Ginza) they specialize in men's kimono. It a little less than $2000 for a custom kimono, haori, juban, and obi they do it in 40~50 days

[@RasmodeusQ]

@@OFAMidoriya yeah... I'd rather just make my own and bring it with me if I go to Japan at that price thanks for the estimate. bonus points if I learn how to put it on and take it off on top of making it as accurate as possible to a "off the shelf" kimono

[@justinlim7467]

It’s really nice seeing the whole gang together enjoying the experience!

[@LetsaskShogo]

It was the first time shooting a video with the whole team and the kids!

[@sunlitrain]

@@LetsaskShogo You are a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this experience, and in the ways that you all did. I am amazed by how rich this experience of an outing actually is. It is so much more than getting in costume and taking photos. You literally step into a culture steeped in history. You are surrounded by art. You interactively are appreciating all of these fabrics and garments with substance and symbolism, beauty and history. You get to choose! And the sashes! And complementing outfits! I would love to learn how to turn a sash into such beautiful accent bows. I would not have imagined this outing to feel so memorable, but again, it is such a multi-layered experience, I feel as if it is an excursion I have had. I felt this way after exploring the Louvre in Paris. This is not about clothing; it is interactive fine art, and literal fabric of a culture.

[@samuraiboi2735]

@@sunlitrain man i do want those kimonos and specifically the expensive and more intricate ones😌

[@thomasrobson6370]

so many things to say 😁 if you're up to it you should "repeat" this video when Nagi turns 3 with all four of you wearing kimonos, (I know they're not) Kazu and Tomoko make a nice couple, your children are growing up fast I enjoy watching family channels where "you" watch the children grow up ("My little homestead") also "you" can so much with your children dressing them up and taking them places etc., I really enjoy your channel 😁

[@ingridjimenez713]

It's so nice seeing you all enjoy yourselves together, it may be getting a little bit colder outside so please be careful out there.

[@LetsaskShogo]

We filmed this at the end of September, so it wasn’t cold at all at that timing! Thank you so much for your kindness☺️

[@Wheuwe-this]

14:16 this is my first time hearing it, its so sweet OMG!!! ≧∇≦ I'll go cook up some oreos

[@leilanilamour5173]

This is exactly what I want to do when I get to visit Japan next year. Thank you so much for the awesome recommendation! 😊 And thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures of your family. So precious 💖

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank YOU very much for taking the time to watch our video😍

[@eepyJay]

The music in the intro is great in this! You are seriously doing such amazing work (the whole team!) making these videos, they're so so good.

[@LetsaskShogo]

Tomoko did the editing of this video, but I made the intro😎

[@LaNoir.]

9:24 Haha that's so cute, Shogo saying he also loves the front and Tomoko/Kazu filming Harumis face instead

[@shard_the_sage1320]

I feel like I'd want to spend a whole year exploring Japan and all of its seasons. I love rain, want to experience the Cherry blossom, fall, and winter seasons

[@gohanrei]

We went to Kyolan last week, rented yukata for me, my wife, and my two daughters all because of this video. We even booked a photographer. We had a WONDERFUL time! Thanks for the recommendation. We are so glad we did this in Arashiyama!

[@raynerose1181]

Who did you book for photography? We are planning to do this when we go ❤

[@Malgorbia]

I didn’t have a huge desire to visit Japan until I started watching your videos. I’ve traveled to many places but you have really made me want to visit Kyoto one day. Learning about the history and purpose behind many of the traditions from a modern and adaptable persons point of view has been really interesting. You’re all great ambassadors for your culture.

[@TheLadyCorsica]

What a beautiful day! And what a beautiful family! I hope your both doing well and thank you for a wonderful video!

[@madarasamanta2494]

So many options to choose 😍 and as a result very well matched colours. Little Nagi and Hinata as always cuties. ❤️I’m happy that all of you gad so much fun. ✨ and that “I love you” part. You both are so lovely together. ❤️

[@ronsorage78]

The pathway of lights is really beautiful. I'm definitely a Tomoko fan! So cute!

[@botkiller1338]

The cute way hinata fell after posing was just the cherry on top of cuteness Edit: AND the little peace sign in the picture, just so adorable 🥺💖

[@codybritts8195]

Wow! It took me a while to realize, but this is the SAME kimono dresser that I went to with friends on my first trip to Kyoto last year! Excellent staff and care. The location is great, and the options are uncountable! I hope that you guys enjoyed the time!

[@Margoslittlelife]

Did they speak any English?

[@codybritts8195]

@@Margoslittlelife Hey. I think they spoke a little bit, but I was there with my friends who could translate.

What a wonderful experience!! Thank you for taking us along with you, everyone looked stunning!!

[@tmorg1029]

Having been to Kyoto over 50 years ago, it was wonderful to see it once again and see how it has changed but not changed. There is an ephemeral beauty that is Kyoto.

[@user-zh2wg7io5p]

I swear to God if i get a opportunity to live in Japan I would never deny it

[@ralunix4612]

Iii so nice already, new vids alwas make my day. You all look lovely!

[@katherineh1401]

Everyone looks so amazing! Glad you guys got pictures and video to look back on.

Your kids sre adorable!

[@anniemihn]

Harumi especially looks so beautiful in her gorgeous kimono!

[@susanharris5331]

Shogo this video is the best! I really love the process of choosing and picking the kimono! Harumi's kimono was my favorite! Hinata also looked cute as a button! She's got her mom's smile! Also, I was wondering what other occasions do you wear kimono for? The photos of you and your family and Tomoko and Kazu came out so good!

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank you for leaving a comment! In Japan today we usually only wear kimono in special occasions such as ceremonies! But there are some people like us who wear it for training in traditional culture too😊

[@susanharris5331]

@@LetsaskShogo That's awesome! Thanks for responding Shogo!

[@danielacs1677]

I loved Harumi's kimono! It's amazing how many combinations you can you can make (obi(s) and accessories). 😍💖

It's great seeing you guys do stuff in one video, I really like the family feeling you give off!!!!!!!

[@charliecat5686]

So happy to see you and your family out and about!!

[@texasvoodoo5696]

Domo arigato gozaimasu! This just got added to my 2023 trip itinerary. You're the best Shogo!

[@DisasterAuntie]

All of your videos are so informative and helpful, and they make me smile. But the thing that made me smile today was something more special. More special than the beautiful kitsuke you all display, more special than the bamboo forest: I heard you Shogo and Harumi say to one another that you love each other. I have so often heard that Japanese people don't typically say this, so when I heard it, it felt so special to me and it made my eyes misty. You are a beautiful family, with your open hearts. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@lizawinslow4773]

Thank you for this beautiful video. This is a must when visiting❤️

[@JoshuaNicholsJoshybearhuggies]

I would like to just say this video warmed my heart. Shogo, you have such a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing with us 🥰

[@roxas896]

I have been to Japan a few times, but always near the Tokyo area. On our next holiday to Japan, hopefully in 2022, we plan to go to Osaka, and visit Kyoto. My daughter and I would love to wear kimonos and explore Kyoto. Thank you for sharing

Totally cute 3 year old in a kimono. This 'kimono trip' is so nostalgic, and sweet. What a lovely day. Try to do it every year. It wouoldn't have occured to me to rent a kimono. I would have just made them. that's just me. You have young ones that need lots of attention..

Hi Shogo! Thanks for the video and all the information. I just have a question which is would they be able to accommodate someone who is a little larger than normal? Im larger than most but i would really like to try wearing a kimono.

[@anamei9]

Wow, we were just there two days ago (Nov 22nd) and it was raining ALL DAY. I felt so bad for how wet everyone's feet must have been (of those wearing the geta with their kimono). Still worth it for the photos, no doubt!

The kimonos were so beautiful andyour daughter is so cute!i was wondering tho if you rent a kimono its like rented not bought so would you have to return it one the same day just so i know bc i was looking forward to visiting my sister in kyoto so yeah. ありがと!🌸

[@thecosmicgoose]

Question: are the antique kimono reproductions of older syles, or genuine antiques?

[@poephila]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@ramonahutchinson6466]

Usually they are actual antiques. People used to wear kimono more before WWII but not anymore, so a lot of people get rid of the old ones that have just sat in storage for a very long time.

[@LetsaskShogo]

The antique kimono here are real antique ones! But as the professional dresser was saying, there are some newly produced “antique” kimono too!

We're planning to go see Kyoto this November, I was wondering if they also have kimono for plus size/ big girls? Thank you! ❤️

In comparison to Kazu, your kimono was more beautiful, Shogo (no offense to Kazu), but girls kimonos were 👍 Really beautiful park even under rain. Worth visiting shop indeed.

You mentioned that you can only start wearing Kimonos from 3, is there a reason for this? Or is it that that particular Kimono place doesn't cater to anyone who is younger?
