In summer, the top attractions for tourists who come to Japan are the summer festivals and fireworks festivals. If you want to experience more Japanese-like life, then we recommend trying the yukata! By the way, do you think that yukata is only worn during festivals? Well, in the beginning yukata is considered as casual clothing and is not suitable for formal occasions. However, now with the high-class yukata, you can even have meals at high-class restaurants!
Today’s article will introduce the yukata event at Ginza Mitsukoshi. If you have difficulty when choosing a yukata, please come and visit Ginza Mitsukoshi and choose a yukata that best suits you!
New experience! Wearing yukata and enjoy streets of Ginza with your close friends
With the “well-matched with streets of Ginza” yukata theme, it is wonderful to go to the streets of Ginza wearing yukata and has girls’ party! For example, go to the famous sweet stores during the day and enjoy the champagne at a bar at night.
Enjoy a yukata date with your partner/couple
For ladies, wearing a yukata with vivid color for sure will attract attention when walking in the town. On the other hand, a simple and calm color yukata for the men. It is surely a novel experience to walk on the streets with such combination!
Enjoy yukata together with children
Every August there is an annual yukata event for family. At Ginza Mitsukoshi, there are many yukata for kids as well as jinpei (informal summer clothes for men). This time, there will be an exhibition of children’s jinpei and yukata which are designed by Nordic illustrator. What about having a walk at the streets of Ginza together with your family along the with this year theme “COOL GINZA” that merges the Nordic and Japanese cultures.
Yukata designed by Mr. Makoto Kagoshima, a ceramic artist

Thanks for reading this article. How do you feel?
We’ve tried touching the yukata we’ve introduced and the material is very pleasant and cool. There seems to have no worry of feeling sultry during summer. It is different from the materials of the commercial products. If you would like to walk on the streets with yukata for your next trip to Japan, please feel free to come to Ginza Mitsukoshi and find yourself a yukata that suits you!
