Hello everyone! We are Misa Endo and Runa Kodaira, the managers of Nikko Kimono Rental COCON NIKKO.
Time flies, and only a few days remain in 2025.
The streets of Nikko are currently wrapped in the quiet, beautiful winter air.
Looking back on this past year, our hearts are filled with one word: Gratitude.
“Great!” Encounters from Japan and Around the Globe
This year, we were honored to welcome so many guests to COCON NIKKO.
We met families from across Japan who told us, “It was our dream to wear a kimono in Nikko!”
We also welcomed guests from the USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, and beyond, whose eyes sparkled with a desire to experience Japanese culture.
Though languages and cultures may differ, the “blossoming smiles” we see the moment someone looks in the mirror after being dressed in a kimono are universal.
- Sharing life’s milestones, such as Shichi-Go-San and Kanreki (60th birthday) celebrations.
- Guests hugging us and saying, “Misa! Great experience!”
- The promises of “I’ll definitely come back again.”
Each of these moments is a precious treasure for our staff and the energy that drives us forward.
Out of all the shops you could have chosen, thank you so, so much for choosing COCON NIKKO!

The Experience of “Wearing a Kimono”
The experience of “wearing a kimono” gives your daily life an extraordinary sparkle.
It releases your heart as if by magic, and may be a catalyst for discovering a new you.
Noticing the details of buildings you wouldn’t usually care about, being moved by the beauty of nature again, warm interactions with locals… Nikko seen through the filter of a kimono will surely show you a completely different expression.
And the memories of that day will not just be consumed as “sightseeing,” but will be deeply carved into your heart as an irreplaceable treasure.
