Haikara-walk in Yokohama
Experiencing the culture of Japanese traditional kimono

walking around with your partner or friends wearing a modern kimono or hakama, with a feel of Haikara-san?
※ Haikara: This word came from “high collar” which was a fashion imported from Western countries to Japan in Meiji period. People who adopted the new fashion became a trend and were called “Haikara-san”.

We also offer Bankara style of hakama for men.
※ Bankara: This word was created in contrast to Haikara, referring to people in rustic fashion.

Let’s time travel to the 19th century when Japan started to open its door to Western culture. There are so many places to visit in Yokohama – Chinatown, Yamashita park, Red Brick Warehouse, Foreign General Cemetery, Ijin-kan, and more!
Yokohama haikara Beauty Salon is very close to Rose Hotel in Yokohama Chinatown.

Japanese traditional kimono is an essential style for ceremonies such as wedding ceremonies, parties, receptions.
When wearing kimono, it is a custom to get your hairdo in a unique Japanese style called “Nihon-gami (Japanese hairdo)”.

The technique of Nihon-gami is very delicate and require skill and experience.
The authentic Nihon-gami is a craftsmanship which can be achieved only by a hairdresser’s experience over the years.
It is also customary to wear a gorgeous “Kanzashi (ornamental hairpin)” with Nihon-gami.
