The sparkling Christmas season has arrived!
Illuminations, Christmas songs, cute cakes… Just imagining it makes your heart dance, doesn’t it?

So, girls who love all things cute—have you already decided your Christmas plans?

Those are lovely, of course.
But this year, why not try something new—
special party you’ll remember for the rest of your life?

Introducing…

Nikko Taisho-Romantic “Christmas Kimono Girls’ Party”

In the World Heritage city of Nikko, dress up together in retro-cute kimonos, enjoy delicious food, and take endless photogenic pictures.
It feels like renting out the entire city for a luxurious and romantic celebration!

Why “Christmas in Nikko × Kimono” now?
How do you enjoy it to the fullest?

Here, COCON NIKKO presents the ultimate girls’ trip plan!


Chapter 1 — Concept:

Why Do You Need Kimonos for a Girls’ Party?
— 3 Magical Reasons —

Don’t think, “But isn’t it cold in kimono?”

In fact, winter × Nikko × kimono is the secret spice that makes your girls’ party magical.


1. Everyone Becomes the Heroine

In a typical girls’ outing, outfits vary and sometimes don’t match in style or mood.
But when you visit COCON NIKKO, everyone transforms into a princess.

“Wow, that color looks amazing on you!”
“That hairpiece is so cute!”

The compliments flow from the moment you start getting dressed.
Self-esteem skyrockets—and everyone becomes the main character.
That’s the beauty of a kimono girls’ party.


2. Taisho-Romantic Atmosphere × Christmas = Perfect Match

Nikko is full of retro Western-style buildings and charming cafés from the Meiji and Taisho eras.
Put on a kimono there, and you instantly feel like an elegant young lady from another century.

Lace gloves, berets, boots…
Mixing kimono with Western accessories creates a Wa-Yo fusion style that pairs perfectly with the festive atmosphere.

Point your phone anywhere—every shot becomes “a miracle photo.”


3. Even the Cold Becomes Part of the Fun

Yes, winter in Nikko is chilly.
But with your girlfriends, even that becomes an exciting feature.

Huddling close, fixing each other’s shawls, laughing over the cold…
And with Heattech worn under the kimono (COCON-approved!), you stay perfectly warm.

Before you know it, the cold is replaced by smiles and excitement.


Chapter 2 — Styling:

Christmas “Link Coordination” Tips

The key to a successful girls’ party is, of course, coordinated styling.

Individual outfits are fun, but since it’s Christmas, try a themed “link coordinate” for extra unity and photogenic charm!


Theme 1: Classic Christmas

“Red × Green” Twin Look

The bold use of classic Christmas colors makes this the most popular theme.

  • Girl A: Deep red (burgundy) kimono + green obi accessories
  • Girl B: Moss green kimono + red obi accessories

Standing together, you look like Santa and a Christmas tree!
Add gold accents or pearls for maximum sparkle.
People on the street will turn and say, “So cute!”


Theme 2: Snow Fairy

“White × Pastel” Coordination

If you want a soft, dreamy look—choose white.

  • Everyone: White or cream-based kimonos
  • Accent: Pastel accessories in pink, sky blue, or lavender

Wrap a fur shawl, and you become a group of snow fairies.
Your photos will shine with ethereal beauty—and definitely blow up on social media!


Theme 3: Retro Modern

“Boots × Beret” Style**

Perfect for active groups who want to explore.

  • Footwear: Bring your favorite boots—warm and easy to walk in
  • Headwear: Berets or large bows matching your kimono
  • Accessories: Lace gloves, vintage bags

This style makes strolling through Nikko’s stone paths a breeze.


Chapter 3 — Party Course:

Explore Nikko as Your Party Venue!

Once you’re dressed, the party begins!

We, Misa and Runa, present the best model course for eating, taking photos, and having fun.
