Kimono Shop TANAKAYA has been in business in Yokosuka for more than 100 years. We make traditional silk kimonos naturally and we make washable polyester kimonos as well. These kimonos can be made according to your size with few exceptions.
We have made cotton or linen yukatas for many people who are involved with the Yokosuka US Navel Base and they have given us positive comments about how they enjoyed wearing made-to-order yukatas while taking part in the bon dance in summer.
In addition to kimonos and yukatas, we have other traditional clothing such as working clothes called "samue" and "happi" coats, as well as short split curtains and odds and ends of cloth.
Please try on traditional Japanese clothing while you are in Japan.

  The pronunciation of a Japanese word "happi" is very similar to the English word "happy", which makes it a nice souvenir for you or your friends.

  Each happi coat comes with a belt and headband.
