I wrote the average money that you might need.

Stores like Daimaru, Takashimaya or Mitsukoshi have some Kimono boutiques inside. I have seen them having Kimono sale from $300.. this is just the kimono. Obi and undergarments are sold separately so even though the Kimono itself is cheap you are still going to spend more on the accessories.

I don't really own a Kimono, so I don't have much knowledge on its prices.

I don't know any second hand Kimono store though so I can't give a comparison. Most Japanese don't sell their Kimono, it is usually handed down from Mothers to Daughters.

In Honmachi ( Osaka ) , there is a really affordable Kimono store there. Just along the Shotengai from Honmachi -> Shinsaibashi-> Namba.
