Tokyo Soir Rental Dress Opens First Store in Nagoya

Tokyo Soir, a subsidiary of Tokyo Soir Co., Ltd., renowned for its formal wear rental services, is set to make its mark in Nagoya with the opening of its first shop on March 30, 2026. Located on the fifth floor of K21 Building at 1-16-7 Izumi, Higashi-ku, Nagoya, this new outlet will be accessible just a four-minute walk from Hisaya-Oodori Station. Reservations for visits will commence on March 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM, strictly by appointment through their reservation site.

Background of the Opening

Aichi Prefecture, notably, ranks third in Japan for marriage rates in 2024. Moreover, the average total costs for weddings, receptions, and parties in the Tokai region, where Nagoya is located, also holds third place nationally. This underlines a strong cultural emphasis on celebrating marriages in this region.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, wedding styles have diversified, leading to an increase in intimate ceremonies and casual celebrations, as couples look for sensible options amidst rising costs. Amidst these changing trends, Tokyo Soir's rental business has witnessed remarkable growth, achieving a 133% increase in annual rental contracts in 2025 compared to the previous year.

The Aoyama location in Tokyo has seen such high demand that bookings are filled up to a month in advance. This shift from purchasing formal attire to renting is particularly evident, reflecting changing consumer sentiments and needs, especially among people who want to reduce expenses and maximize convenience.

The increase in user engagement with their rental site in the Tokai region—up 151% through 2025—has also contributed to the decision to establish a presence in Nagoya's Marunouchi area, known for its concentration of wedding venues. The Nagoya store will be the second location after Aoyama, emphasizing the brand's rapid expansion.
