Established in 1872,
a long-established kimono store for five generations in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture.

呉服
Shimizuya Kimono Shop was founded in 1872 in Otsu City.
We have been serving the community for five long generations, introducing fine Japanese kimonos.

Kimono is a time capsule of happiness.
The theme is “love of family” and “beauty and richness of heart”.

呉服
Family ties spun through kimono.
Shimizuya continues to convey the charm of kimonos inherited from its 200-year history and aims to be a store that is loved by local customers.

We enjoy traveling and dining in kimonos,
tea ceremony circles, classes on how to wear kimonos with our customers.

We would like to promote Japanese culture and provide a place for people to interact with each other.

With this in mind, we offer cultural classes such as “Kimono dressing class,”
“Flower arrangement class,” and “Tea ceremony class”, for you to enjoy kimono and enrich your mind through Japanese culture.
Please feel free to join us.
