Summer Hit Items from AEON, the Iconic Japan-loved Supermarket! Summer Edition (w/ Coupon Savings!)

The yukata, which originated as a bathing garment called "yukatabira" in the Heian period and evolved into casual outdoor wear by the Edo period, is perfect for Japan's humid summers due to its breezy, lightweight fabric. Easier to wear than traditional kimonos, yukatas are popular for events like fireworks festivals, summer matsuri (festivals), and other events that bring more and more people out on the town.
Try all-original yukata in-store at AEON. To complete the look you’ll even find accessories like decorative cords and hair ornaments, so you can head straight out for a day of fun. Highlights from their collection include the trendy "KUSUMI Yukata" in fashionable muted colors and the 2024 new "One-Piece Yukata," which is a separate style that's easy to put on by yourself and can double as a dress after you return home.
Yukata are made of thin fabric that fold up neatly so they won’t take up much space in your luggage. Plus, with AEON's "Happy Coupon" for visiting foreigners, you can get a 5% discount on most items.
