[Heartwarming International Exchange] A Special Guest from Malaysia and a Touching Experience at COCON NIKKO

Recently, we welcomed a wonderful guest from Malaysia, Ms. Ayu and her daughter. They were a host family through Sorato’s previous experience volunteering as a Japanese teacher in Malaysia. Ms. Ayu is Sorato’s English teacher, and Sorato is Ms. Ayu’s Japanese teacher, so they continue to have a wonderful relationship.

Sorato and the two of them are visiting Japan! We wanted them to have a special experience in Nikko, Japan.

This was Ms. Ayu’s second visit to Japan, and her daughter’s first. Sorato chose our kimono rental service, wanting to “have a special experience in Nikko.”

A special photo in a historic place, blowing the rain away. Unfortunately, it was raining on the day of their visit, and Sorato and the two of them were a bit worried, but they arrived in traditional Japanese kimonos and found a special place in Nikko’s historic land where they could take some truly memorable photos! “, we told them.

When they saw the photos we’d taken the other day, they were so moved! Their smiles seemed to blow away all their worries about the rain!

Seeing their excitement brought joy to our staff, too.

They put on their favorite kimonos and set off to explore Nikko. It seems this experience was the highlight of their trip to Japan.

Comfortable clothing and the best hospitality.

When they returned, we received heartfelt words of appreciation, saying, “It was a truly wonderful experience.” Our guests also sent us warm reviews and many photos of their wonderful memories. Thank you so much!

From TripAdvisor reviews

The staff had a wonderful atmosphere, and I felt relaxed and enjoyed choosing and dressing in my kimono from start to finish.’ It was my first time wearing a kimono, and the shop has made various unique efforts to ensure that the kimono is comfortable to wear all day, so it was incredibly comfortable. 

Walking around Nikko in a kimono is a special experience, and taking photos with friends at places like Tamozawa Imperial Villa while enjoying sightseeing in Nikko has become a wonderful memory. Lots of great photos!!
