Salon de Tea + Kimono

"Thank you for the lovely kimono experience. Christien and I enjoyed our time with you and would love to meet you on another occasion! Christien especially enjoyed discussing Japanese history with you. We had so much fun dressing in your kimonos and it was such a unique and valuable experience for us."

"Had the opportunity to take a private kimono dressing lesson with Hiroko. Learned some tips and tricks to dress myself in kimono beautifully--and filled in some gaps that I didn't know I had in my kimono dressing knowledge. Thank you so much Hiroko-san! Looking forward to working with you on kimono dressing in the future!

“ I've been to a few of them! Hiroko Sensei is super great and friendly! Her kitsuke classes are really thorough and fun! She explains every step in detail and shows tricks for difficult parts. Every class also has enough time dedicated to self practice where you can try with her guide. She lends out the entire kimono/obi/kitsuke items for classes too if you don't have kimonos of you own or if you're missing key items. It's definitely worth going! Most participants in the sessions I went to speak Japanese and since I can understand and want to learn the process in the Japanese language, I didn't request English explanations, but Hiroko Sensei offers English explanations if it's requested.”
