Stuffing things into your kimono is part of the fun of wearing one :D

Kimono don't have pockets in the Western sense of the word, but thanks to their tailoring they do have places one can stash trinkets. Main ones are:

Tamoto 袂, the pocket part of a kimono sleeve. Back of women's ones are open (but sleeves are longer and weight of item is often enought to keep them in place). Men's ones are sewn shut and so perfect to act as pockets.

Futokoro is the “pocket” created between the kimono left fold and the obi (when worn women style). Men also tuck things at a similar place near their obi but I don't know if that is called the same.

if you wear one, sarashi (long bleached cotton cloth) was used by both sexes as a kind of binding undergarment, and could be used to hold items (it is a famous cliché in yakuza movie to menacingly have a blade tucked into their belly sarashi).

You can also tuck things into your obi, nowadays this is especially true for fans. Sensu are tucked up front, uchiwa in the back
