Summary
The kimono is a traditional form of Japanese clothing with a long and varied history. While the kimono is often featured in television and movies, understanding the rules for wearing a kimono in public is essential. In this blog post, we will explore the types of kimono and the appropriate etiquette for wearing a kimono outside of one's home.

1. Wear an under-kimono directly on the skin, with an undershirt and undershorts for men, and underwear and underskirts for women.
2. Wear the kimono over the top of the under-kimono and wrap it around the body. Tuck it in securely and adjust the length of the kimono.
3. Tie the Obi sash so that it rests right above the waist, and adjust the length of the Obi so that it hangs between the knees and the ankles.
4. Wear the juban (of the under-kimono) over the obi, allowing just a few inches of it to be visible.
5. Wear appropriate footwear such as tabi socks and/or geta sandals.
6. Add the final touches by wearing traditional accessories, such as zori sandals, a tasuki sash, and a handbag.Before embarking on your journey to japan, make sure to check the latest travel guidelines and entry requirements to ensure a smooth trip
