1. Actually, I do. I own a yukata and a Kimono.

2. Don't throw weasel remarks at me. I will smash you.

3. My argument is in the context of guijin wearing yukata in general, not hotels.

How can you do that from 3000 miles away, big guy?

Hmm.
Oh...excuse me. I think I misunderstood, actually.
My bad.
But still, don't underestimate the knowledge of one who is there, CURRENTLY.
You may have been there, but really...
then again, I think Jrock isn't nihonjin himself.
So I'll go with the word of Nagoya himself xD

I understand your logic, but it has a flaw or two.
You don't know that JRock is a Okinawan. There are many gaiijin living there because of the U.S. military, so he may or may not be a valid source. Nor do you know whether Paul is a native Californian or a Japanese in California on a visa. But aside from these two faulty assumptions, I personally would take the recommendation of whichever poster displayed more rational discourse instead of idle threats of violence toward differing opinions.

And then there is the whole issue of whether we are discussing an Okinawan tradition/custom that is actually different from mainland Japan. You are aware they are not always the same?

Yeah, I thought about it...I was all "wait, Ryukyu = main japan = chigau..."
I wasn't thinking as I typed. It happens. xD; Sorry

I am basing my knowledge off of mainland Japan tradition. My wife is Mainland Japanese and I lived there for 4 years. I have only been in Okinawa for 1 1/2 years. Also, before I post anything related to Japan, I verify with my wife to ensure I am correct.
