Giving a geta is a great gift idea because they have several benefits. First of all, they are eco-friendly shoes. They are made entirely of wood and stand up to the test of time very well. In fact, there is no need to "throw away a geta". Just replace the strap (hanao) when it starts to wear out.
Wearing a Geta also has a benefit for back posture. This traditional Japanese sandal, will also give you a unique style. To wear a kimono, you need to follow a dress code. The geta Japanese sandal is one of the essential accessories.Â

Nowadays the kimono is still worn within Japanese society but only for important occasions. The Japanese kimono men and for women are unusual and ideal gifts if you are planning a Japan-related event or want to look like a geisha or samurai!"
