Summer nights, yukata, and fireworks festivals... Once July and summer vacation arrive, those familiar with Japanese culture can't help but think of these things. Yukata, a type of Japanese summer kimono, is more casual and simple to wear compared to formal kimonos. Wearing a yukata and experiencing Japanese culture is the wish of many foreign tourists visiting Japan during the summer. Unexpectedly, all these wishes can be fulfilled at a department store in Shinjuku.
Shinjuku Takashimaya – Summer-exclusive event just for foreign visitors is about to begin
Start time: 2 PM and 3 PM on the day (each session lasts 40 minutes)
Location: Special tatami room ‘Kiri-an’ set up in the kimono salon on the 11th floor of Takashimaya Shinjuku Store
Fee: 5,500 yen (about 275 RMB), only 3,500 yen (about 175 RMB) for customers renting a yukata
Since you're wearing a yukata, how can you miss the chance to experience Japanese tea ceremony culture? Tatami mats, yukata, sitting in seiza, and the rich yet delicate aroma of tea – amidst the deep atmosphere of traditional Japanese culture, sipping a bowl of Japanese tea seems to dissolve the last bit of restlessness in your heart.
