Dear Guest, Thank you very much for choosing Hotel Aston Plaza Himeji and for your kind words. We are delighted that you and your family had a fantastic experience and found our hotel spotless. Regarding the "kimono" you enjoyed, we are glad to hear it added a special touch to your trip! These are actually Yukata (casual cotton kimono), which are available at our Amenity Corner on the 1st floor. We provide them in a standard one-size-fits-all for our guests to wear comfortably during their stay. We take great pride in our cleanliness and hospitality, and your feedback is a wonderful reward for our team. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Himeji again soon! Best regards, Manager Hotel Aston Plaza Himeji
