Posted in: Kimono-clad foreigners get a taste of old Tokyo See in context

Wearing a kimono or yukata if you live in Japan is fine whatever your origins. As long as you respect it and don't act like it's a costume, it's fine! You will get a few funny looks if you go all out with the clogs and everything for no reason, though. I suggest getting fitted and just wearing it to a festival, plus it's a great memory memento when you move away. A lot of natives are interested in foreigners wearing yukatas. My Japanese friend told me most people really don't care. It's not that important really. My highschool has a Kimono photobooth- and they let you rent out kimonos! It's really just a chance to immerse yourself into the culture. If you respect it and treat it correctly, do what you want! :D
