Kimono Experience in Gorgeous Ritsurin Garden in Kagawa

Ritsurin Garden is the largest garden among the Japanese gardens designated as national cultural properties. It has been awarded the highest grade of three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan and praised as “a place worth traveling to.” About half of the gardens listed as national special scenic spots, the garden equivalent of national treasures, are in Kyoto and most of them are Zakan style gardens which prioritize a view from one particular point. Ritsurin Garden, however, incorporates Chisen Kaiyu, a style of garden that became popular among feudal lords during the Edo period. Some of its features are a vast space, a large central pond, and paths leading through the garden on which people can take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the ever-changing scenery from season to season.

Our Kimono Dresser lived in London for 9 years when she was a child. She served as a coordinator for international relations at Kagawa University while teaching English at a culture center in Takamatsu City. Drawing on her experience in helping her hairdresser husband, she started a kimono rental service at Ritsurin Garden in the hope that many people including international visitors enjoy a stroll around the garden in beautiful kimono. “Ritsurin Garden is a national treasure of a Japanese-style garden where strolling around in kimono transports you back 400 years to the Edo period. You can experience something truly unique here"
