Really friendly and cozy Second Hand Shop for Kimonos, Jinbeis, Haoris and all the japanese cultural clothings for a fair prize. Friendly service and explanation as well.

Only place I found to buy second hand kimonos for men/nagagi. Also has the jackets/haori and trousers/hakama. Not much help from the store staff but at least a place to buy. It is between 5000-6000 yen per item. Tax free shopping is possible.

Really awesome Vintage finds, really love my Lee denim shirt dress and especially the 2 aprons 😍 prices were really reasonable too.

Super cool thrift store in Kyoto. In the basement, they have your regular thrift store clothing, but in the level above, they have all things secondhand kimonos/yakutas, etc. There are prices for every buyer, so you can go expensive or you can go as cheap as something like $13 I think. I got a kimono, a yakuta, and four obis for $126, which is an absolute steal considering what you rent kimonos for. The only caveat is that they don't really have sizes for bigger people (or rather, wider people). It seems that you have to be somewhat skinny to have the kimono/yakuta close. However, there are other clothing options that are more inclusive and can hang open as a sort of cardigan thing. Overall, I really liked this thrift shop and highly recommend it for your budget kimono buyer.

If you are looking for a kimono or a yucata, this is the place to go. A lot of choices for women/men/kids. And they have all the accessories. You can have the full gear for a very reasonable price. They also have very beautiful kimonos at higher prices. They accept credit cards and you can have tax deductions if you buy more than 5400 yens. They have a sister shop in Harajuku (Tokyo) but they have more used kimonos in Kyoto because people here still wear a lot of them.
