In Japan, there are many activities to do for tourists like in other
countries such as enjoy tasting traditional food, shopping, soaking in
hot spring, admiring an exquisite scenery, learning their lifestyle and
aventuring. However, there is one thing different which strikes our eyes.
It is “Geta”

Geta is the Japanese clogs which are always used with traditional costume
“Yukata and Kimono”. This
native footwear was found in Japan for centuries but has been well-known
since 1996. Although western culture have expanded to these islands, the
demand of geta still exist and problably increase due to online shopping
on internet where many people all over the world know it.

There are two kinds of geta which we always see: wooden and vinyl. For wooden geta, there is a slightly tapered front heal, making the person lean forward with each step. When we wear wooden geta and walk, we will hear clack...clack sound. About vinyl geta, it is the most popular one worn for formal occasions with the kimono. Normally, velvet and vinyl are used to make for the thongs due to their durability and come in a variety of colors. The price of all geta start at 20-50 USD.
By observing the height of geta, we can know what season is in Japan.
In rainy season, geta with 7-10 centimeteres high would
be the most popular while the one with 4.5 centimetres high is general
used in spring and autumn.
Wearing geta is not easy as pie. It will be better to practice to walk correctly if not you may tumble into the floor.
Footwear is as important as other attires, Japanese are always improve and modernise both geta design and quality to fullfil all customer needs.
