Would you please check whether the following sentences sound natural? <Easy-to-wear Kimono> According to a local newspaper, a kimono rental shop named ‘Warabekyoto’ was newly open in Kyoto city. Kimono is a long, loose traditional Japanese robe with wide sleeves, tied with a broad sash. They say that anyone can easily wear a kimono they offer. Surprisingly, it will take only three minutes to wear. The rental cost per kimono is 3,000 yen for 24 hours, excluding tax.

Here are my corrections/interpretations. I'm from the USA, and I think a couple of these would be said differently in UK English. According to a local newspaper, a kimono rental shop named ‘Warabekyoto’ just opened in Kyoto City. A kimono is a long, loose, traditional Japanese robe with wide sleeves, tied with a broad sash. They say that anyone can easily wear any kimono they offer. [one size fits all] [Or They have sizes to fit everyone.. Or They say that anyone can wear a kimono] Surprisingly, it will take only three minutes to get fitted. The rental cost per kimono is 3,000 yen for 24 hours, plus tax.

It sounds very good; no errors, either.

"Was newly open" --> "has recently opened". "Kyoto City" --> "Kyoto" or "the city of Kyoto"

Many thanks for giving some suggestions, DavidK! I was talking about the shop owner.

Thomas’ comments are excellent. In your third sentence, the use of “they say” is unclear. Are you talking about the shop owner(s), the author of the article, or anyone? “The owners of the shop claim/say that they have a kimono for everyone” “The owners of the shop say that anyone can wear one of their kimonos.” “The shopkeeper says that anyone can easily find a kimono they like at Warabekyoto.”
