Wargo's Second Store Opening in Kawagoe

Wargo, well-known for its dedication to sharing traditional Japanese culture worldwide, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its second store, "Kanzashi-ya Wargo," located in Kawagoe, Saitama, on March 20, 2026. This new addition will complement the existing store, "Hokusai Graphic," which specializes in traditional Japanese umbrellas, and aims to enrich the local cultural experience further.

Store Location and Concept

Kawagoe, famous for its historic merchant streets and charming Edo-period buildings, has seen a surge in both kimono rentals and tourism, making it a significant area for those interested in Japanese culture and attire. Wargo’s first store in the area, Hokusai Graphic, has received enthusiastic support from customers, motivating the company to establish Kanzashi-ya Wargo in the flourishing幸町 (Saiwaichō) district.

Wargo’s Kanzashi-ya offers a variety of hair accessories that cater to diverse styles, including modern, casual, and feminine designs. By providing unique kanzashi (hair ornaments) and Japanese umbrellas, the brand creates an environment where traditional and contemporary fashion can seamlessly blend, enabling customers to coordinate both kimono and Western-style outfits.
