Thanks for this blog post! I live in Kobe now and have seen a few of these shops, but I am always very shy to go inside.
ReplyDeleteI am America, but soon, I will leave Kobe and move to Australia to live with my boyfriend. Since we met in Kobe, I want to wear a Kimono when we get married so I am shopping for one before I leave Japan.
Thank you so much for your helpful information!! =D
Christina, thank you for your comment!

Now, I'm surprised and feeling happy that this post helped you!
And I want to say the biggest congratulations for you and your boyfriend!! XD
If you are still in Japan, I think that "J : Modern-kan KEIKO" is worth the visit for you.
This shop has a staff who can speak English and some gorgeous kimono that are good for wedding.
And "B : WAKON" has retro kimono for wedding too.
Moreover, if you have chance, I recommend to visit "Kashi-isho Shobun-ichi (貸衣装処分市)".
It means "Disposal sale of costumes for rent".
You can get a dress or kimono that was used to wedding at reasonable price.
This sale is held at department stores sometimes.
Recent schedule is Apr/21-27, Hankyu Hyakkaten of Kawanishi (Kawanishi-Noseguchi ST of Hankyu Rwy).
