How much does a real kimono cost in Japan? To silk and with beautiful embroidery? Where is it better to buy it?
Answer Maria Shestakova
This kimono is very expensive, it can cost up to 15-20 thousand US dollars. And this is only one kimono, not counting the cost of a complete set of clothes, which includes a large number of accessories.
The most expensive accessory is the obi belt, the price of which is hundreds of dollars. These belts are painted by the craftsmen manually. Very expensive is the fabric from which the kimono is made. Slim silk hand-painted can not be cheap.
Especially valuable kimonos are inherited from generation to generation, and they will not be sold under any circumstances.
Therefore, kimonos are now much more popular from cheap fabric fabrics. A new kimono costs about 1500 yen. You can buy in shopping centers, there is a great choice.

"Beauty" everyone defines for himself. The Japanese do not pursue an outward luster. In Tokyo, kimono is easy enough to buy from the temple complex Asakusa, on the shopping street Nakamise-dori in tents, where various souvenirs are sold. Kimono will cost you about 5000 yen
