Shopping
Sakuran Nuno-Zori (cloth sandals) are popular as "room shoes" because of their soft and fluffy feel. Sakuran Nuno-Zori "room shoes" will make your time on the plane and in the hotel comfortable when you travel. Please bring them as portable "room shoes" when you travel.
For the health of your feet, we recommend wearing Nuno-Zori (cloth sandals) "all year round". Walking with your toes gripping the floor strengthens the muscles in the soles of your feet and fingers, which is said to be effective in preventing and improving bunions, flat feet, and floating toes. Tired feet and problems may be the cause of lower back pain, knee pain, stiff shoulders, headaches, etc.
