What if you could travel to Japan and leave your entire suitcase at home? Sounds like a dream, right? Well, MIMARU Hotels is making it a reality! This popular Japanese hotel chain has teamed up with an innovative clothing rental service, Any Wear, Anywhere, allowing guests to truly embrace the concept of packing light.
Say Goodbye to Checked Luggage
Through this exclusive partnership, MIMARU Hotels guests can now rent stylish, seasonal outfits for their entire stay. Any Wear, Anywhere provides individual bags for each person on a reservation, typically containing six to seven items like tops, bottoms, and layering pieces. This means you can skip the struggle of fitting everything into a suitcase or the extra fees for checked baggage.
The rental service caters to adults, teens, and children, with options for rentals lasting from one day up to 30 days. They even offer a “Family Set” plan for up to two adults and two children. Sizes go up to 3XL for adults, and much of the clothing has a unisex appeal, though you’ll need to specify gender preferences during booking.
How It Works and What It Costs
The pricing for these rental sets ranges from approximately $175 to $325 (¥28,000 to ¥52,000), depending on the package. Once you’ve confirmed both your hotel and clothing reservations, you simply check in at your MIMARU destination and provide your Any Wear, Anywhere booking details. The best part? You don’t have to worry about laundry or unpacking mountains of clothes when you return home.
When it’s time to head back, you can return the rented clothing to the MIMARU front desk, another hotel, or even a convenience store, making the process incredibly convenient. While the trial period for this program ends in March, guests can continue to make reservations through November 2026. MIMARU is considering future developments based on guest feedback and usage data.
More Than Just Clothes
MIMARU Hotels, with 29 aparthotel locations across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, is already known for its unique offerings, including popular Pokémon-themed rooms. This clothing rental service adds another layer of convenience and sustainability to the guest experience. Remember, shoes are not included in the rental, so be sure to pack your favorite pair!
