Japanese inns provide comfortable yukatas or cotton kimonos to lounge in. These are usually worn after bathing. Yukatas at Japanese inns are also worn to dinner and they function as pyjamas too. There are many types of yukata, but the ones that are provided by inns are usually standard white and blue with a simple belt as shown in the video. Remember to fold the left side of the yukata over the right and keep the belt knot at the back. In the cooler months there is a coat called a "haori" which can be worn over the yukata to stay warm. You can also wear leggings and a long sleeved t-shirt underneath to keep out the cold, although a warm cup of sake or two should do the trick just as well!
