Imagine arriving in Japan with your family, carrying nothing but a backpack of basic travel necessities. Envision walking through arrivals with just a tote bag of essentials for the kids. Think how nice it would be to get to Japan and catch the train into the city without any giant suitcases to drag around—free to hold hands with the little ones. If you’re the kind of family looking to stock up at Japan’s drugstores (or treat your kids to cool anime merch at the toy store), picture your luggage all empty and waiting to be filled with goodies for your trip home.
This might sound like a dream, but it’s no fantasy. With the help of Any Wear, Anywhere (AWAW), you can rent a travel wardrobe for each member of your family in Japan, both children and adults, instead of dragging heavy suitcases full of clothing halfway across the globe!

Instead of packing more, the AWAW system can help you choose what your family will wear in Japan—clean, ready-to-go travel wear, with kid and adult options for every season—so you can focus on planning the fun parts of your trip. Let the system do the work! With practical seasonal options ready to go, you can spend your travel time taking the family to Japan’s famous theme parks, learning about Japanese culture together, introducing the kids to delicious new flavors, and simply spending quality time with your family and friends.
It’s not only about a smaller suitcase. AWAW helps remove the friction before and after your trip: less time spent packing and agonizing about what everyone will really want to wear when they arrive, less worry about finding lockers for big bags when the last thing your kids want to do is wander a train station, and less dirty laundry to deal with when you get home. It’s a service designed to help you feel lighter from the moment you book your trip to Japan to the moment you fly home.

AWAW Is Perfect For You If…
➡︎ You’re not sure what to pack for the family.
Japan is proud of its four seasons, but they don’t always line up with the weather you’re used to. But the last thing you want is to bring the wrong things and end up with your kids sweating in the heat or shivering in the cold! And if you overpack for everyone, you might get stuck dragging the whole family’s closets through the airport.
Fortunately, AWAW offers different rental sets for different seasons to help you find the right options for each member of the family, including pieces chosen by locals to fit with Japanese weather patterns. You can pick up everyone’s season-appropriate rentals when you get to MIMARU, use the hotel’s washing machines to keep the clothing clean as you wear it throughout your trip, and then return it all without a second thought when you leave!
➡︎ You’re so busy with work, you don’t have time to pack in the first place!
The night before trip
If you and your partner both have full-time jobs, packing for a big family trip can be a struggle, even if you’re all excited to explore Japan together. If you’re both at the office one day, and taking off for Tokyo the next, that doesn’t leave you much time for either of you to pack up every outfit the kids might need throughout a long trip—especially if you’re planning to city hop your way through Japan.
Use AWAW, and all you need to do is throw a few essentials into your luggage—you’ll find the rest of everyone’s travel wardrobes at the hotel when you all arrive! Pick up your first rental at one of the many convenient MIMARU locations in Tokyo, see the sights together, treat the kids to a day at Tokyo’s beloved theme parks, then return the clothes and head west without big bags weighing you down. (When you’re not stressing about suitcases, you can actually enjoy your little ones’ delight at the magic of Japan’s high-speed railway!)
Book a second rental at your MIMARU in Kyoto or Osaka, and you’ll find new outfit options waiting for you across the country—which also means fresh new looks for all the family photos you’ll take in front of Kyoto’s temples, or eating takoyaki together along Osaka’s bustling Dotonbori. Even if you decide to move on to another hotel in Hiroshima or Nagoya, you can keep using the rentals, and simply return the clothes at a nearby convenience store before you leave Japan.
The best part? Way less laundry for mom or dad to do when the whole family finally arrives back home!
