The yukata, Japan's emblematic summer garment, has become a staple of summer festivals and fireworks viewing parties. But in Tokyo, where prices are generally higher than in the rest of the country, buying a complete yukata can quickly become expensive. Between the yukata itself, the accompanying obi, and the accessories, the budget can quickly balloon. Fortunately, there are several options for buying affordable yukata in the Japanese capital. Let's discover together the best tips for buying a yukata without breaking the bank in Tokyo, whether you're a resident or a tourist looking for an authentically Japanese sartorial experience.

Major retailers and supermarkets are the place to go for discount yukata. Stores such as Don Quijote and Uniqlo offer complete yukata sets (yukata + obi + geta) at prices ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 yen (between 23 and 46 euros). These "all-inclusive" sets are particularly popular for their value for money.

Supermarkets such as Aeon, Ito-Yokado and Daie also offer complete yukata for under 3,000 yen. However, it's important to note that these sets are often produced in limited quantities and only sold from May to June in the larger supermarkets. It is therefore advisable to take advantage of these attractive offers well in advance.
