Yumeyakata’s Yukata Rental

Our store features original items from our sister store KIMONOMACHI! We offer a wide range of polyester yukatas made from CoolPass material, which is quick-drying and moisture-wicking.
CoolPass yukatas are comfortable even on hot summer nights due to their absorbency and high moisture diffusion properties. The fabric is substantial, with a slightly crisp texture, making it easy to wear without slipping during dressing.
We also recommend pairing them with nagajuban (under-kimono) or lace tabi socks to create a summer kimono look.

About CoolPass

CoolPass uses uniquely cross-sectioned polyester fibers, giving it a more complex and grooved structure than typical polyester fabrics. This allows it to quickly absorb sweat and moisture and release it into the air, providing a refreshing and cool feeling. Experience the comfort of high-performance polyester.
