A konoshi is also worn by the Imperial Family during the rehearsal for the enthronement ceremony (on this occasion it is worn with a tateeboshi (formal headwear with a peak), a sashiko (hakama on which the sashinuki hem reaches the ankles and is not tied) and uhiri (black leather shoes)), and when members of the Imperial Family serve as Shinto priests such as the head priest of Ise-jingu Shrine.
また即位礼の習礼で皇族が使用し（このときは立烏帽子・指袴（切袴）・烏皮履を使用）、また神宮祭主など、皇族が神職をつとめる場合に使用例があるという。
