At INCUBE Tenjin, which is directly connected to Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station, from July 13th (Saturday) to August 13th (Tuesday) *More than 300 types of yukata, one of the largest in Kyushu* are all assembled. Hakata Hankyu, which will open for the first time this year, will be held from July 24th (Wednesday) to August 13th (Tuesday).
We have a selection of trending yukatas carefully selected by our professional staff who have served over 10,000 customers. Yukata are always on sale at Kimono Choya in Kurume.
*This year’s concept is “Oshi, Summer, and Yukata.”*
“I want to make memories in yukata with my lover/friends at fireworks displays and summer festivals.”
“I want to take a photo in a color-coordinated yukata with the goods.” Would you like to try “*Oshikatsu*” that can only be done this summer? It’s an exciting summer filled with events such as fireworks displays, summer festivals, and large-scale live performances.
The concept is to create new summer memories through yukata and “favorites” such as idols, voice actors, and anime characters, as well as “favorites” such as lovers, family members, and pets nearby. “Kimono Choya” proposes preparations for a special summer time with your “Oshi”.
Continuing from last year, the yukata trend in 2024 is “*dull colors*”. Chic, low-saturation cool colors such as monochrome, gray, beige, and silver are popular as point colors, and adult one-tone coordination is recommended for this season.
It’s a two-piece set with a choice of yukata and obi, so each person can coordinate it to their liking. We have staff members who specialize in kimonos, so you’re sure to find the perfect one.
