Enjoy Kimono from Hotel Dinner to Family Bonding — Keep Your Memories Until the Next Morning
No Rushing for Mom and Dad. A Relaxing Kimono Journey Where the Whole Family Smiles.
Hello! We are Misa Endo and Runa Kodaira, managers of Nikko Kimono Rental COCON NIKKO.
Winter break, New Year’s, and Spring break—are you planning a family trip to Nikko?
“I want the whole family to wear kimonos!”
“I want Grandma and Grandpa to see the kids in their cute traditional outfits!”
To the parents making these wonderful plans: do you also have these worries?
- “What if the kids get cranky and we run out of time?”
- “Returning the kimonos by 5:30 PM sounds so hectic and tiring…”
- “Going back to the hotel just to change before dinner is a hassle.”
COCON NIKKO has the perfect solution!
For family trips, the “Next-Day Return Option” is your best friend.
There is no need to rush back to the shop in the evening. Check into your hotel in your kimono, enjoy a beautiful family dinner together, and return the outfits at your leisure the following morning. This “time cushion” is the secret to a successful family vacation.
Here is why the Next-Day Return is the ultimate choice for families.
Chapter 1: The Situation — The Enemies of Family Travel: “Time” and “Changing”
Managing a schedule is the hardest part of traveling with children or seniors.
- Family Trips Never Go as Planned: Between bathroom breaks and “I want to see more souvenirs!”, things happen. A 5:30 PM deadline often leads to parents snapping, “Hurry up!”—spoiling the fun.
- “I Don’t Want to Take It Off!”: Children love feeling like princesses or samurai. Telling them to take it off after just a few hours can be heartbreaking. Let them live their dream until bedtime.
- The Hassle of Changing: Returning to the hotel, undressing, and changing back into casual clothes before heading to a restaurant is exhausting. With the next-day option, you go straight to dinner in style.
Chapter 2: 5 Gifts the “Next-Day Return” Gives Your Family
For a small additional fee (+1,650 JPY~), you can dramatically upgrade your trip.
- Gift 1: Peace of Mind: Being able to say, “We have plenty of time, let’s slow down,” allows everyone to relax.
- Gift 2: A Grand Hotel Check-in: Walking into a hotel lobby in kimonos is a stunning sight. You’ll receive a warm welcome, making your “special family holiday” feel official from the moment you arrive.
- Gift 3: A Kimono Dinner to Remember: Whether it’s a buffet or a private Kaiseki meal, wearing kimonos turns dinner into a celebration. These warm moments of praising one another will stay in your children’s hearts forever.
- Gift 4: Evening Photo Ops: Capture photos in the hotel lounge under soft evening lighting for a sophisticated atmosphere—perfect for family treasures.
- Gift 5: A Fresh Morning Stroll: Wake up early and take a breath of crisp Nikko air in your kimono before breakfast. Enjoy the lingering magic of your trip until the very last moment.
Chapter 3: The “Deep Bond” Sample Itinerary (Day 1 & Day 2)
- Day 1, 11:00 AM: Arrive at COCON NIKKO. Choosing outfits together is the start of the fun!
- Day 1, 12:30 PM: Lunch & Stroll. Visit Toshogu Shrine at the kids’ pace.
- Day 1, 5:00 PM: “Kimono Check-in.” Go straight to your lodging. Relax in your room (we’ll teach you how to loosen the belt slightly for comfort!).
- Day 1, 6:30 PM: Family Kimono Dinner. A toast in traditional attire!
- Day 2, 10:00 AM: Check out & Return. Simply bring the kimonos back in the provided bag. Your camera roll will be full of smiles.
Chapter 4: Parent-Friendly Support
- Comfortable Fitting: Our professional staff ensures the kimono is “secure but not tight,” even after a big dinner.
- Don’t Worry About Spills: Standard stains (food or mud) are covered by our cleaning process.
- Luggage Storage: We can hold your strollers and suitcases while you explore.
Chapter 5: Recommended Stay

Closing: Family Time is an Eternal Treasure
Children grow up in the blink of an eye. The chance to travel as a whole family and laugh together in kimonos is a rare and precious gift. We want that experience to be perfect, without compromise.
Ten or twenty years from now, when you look back at your family album, we want you to say, “That trip to Nikko was truly the best.”
COCON NIKKO is here to support your family’s happiness with a warm room and a beautiful collection of kimonos. We look forward to welcoming you!
