Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo

Very excellent shop. I would go back.

Reviewed by: Nathan

We had an excellent experience at Seisouji. We arrived at our scheduled appointment and was immediately greeted by a very friendly staff and they showed us a few choices of kimonos to choose from. Once we chose our kimonos my girlfriend and I were greeted down stairs by a rickshaw that gave us a very nice tour and dropped us off close to Seisouji where we walked around and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon receiving many random compliments from strangers. It was a very fun experience and I highly suggest it to anyone looking for a fun afternoon in Asakusa. The staff spoke and understood very good English so communicating was never a problem. :)

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

First time on a Yakayabune

Reviewed by: SSS

Since I had never boarded a yakatabune before, I was so excited about trying it.
It took me about a five-minute walk from the station to the boat boarding area.
On boarding the boat, I was greeted by young high-spirited ladies wearing a towel around their heads. I was impressed by their cheerful greetings both in Japanese and English.
I enjoyed beer and delicious dish right away. They cooked Tempura on the boat. Freshly fried tempura was served.

We were able to stop by tourist spots and enjoy the view from the boat at Odaiba. It was a good us to choose this day ,because the weather was great and we really enjoyed it!

A wide range of people were on board, there were tourists from Tokyo, the locals and travelers from overseas that were all introduced by a friendly young lady which made the vibe very lively on board!
It was nothing like just taking a ordinary boat, instead, it was as if signing up for a Japanese house boat tour with a tour guide on board. I'll definitely use the service again when next time my friend visit Tokyo!

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Great even in winter. I want to go again.

Reviewed by: Izumin

To celebrate a birthday, we joined this cruise with two small kids. We could see the Christmas lights in Odaiba and Tokyo Skytree. Also we enjoyed fireworks in Odaiba. We had freshly cooked Tempura and drinks as much as we wanted. All of us were very satisfied. It was a dream day out!

<Meeting Point>
In the morning, “Harumiya” called me and we could confirm the meeting point and time so we did not have any worry about it. There were staff wearing happi coats in front of the pier.Boarding started about 15 minutes before sailing time.

<Ship>
There were two rows of sunken kotatsu tables. Families, couples, small groups shared the boat. We were close to each other, and immediately got along with the people around, it was a harmonious atmosphere.

<Meals and Drinks>
The starter was a Kaiseki meal, then Japanese Nabe. A variety of Tempuras were served. Everything was delicious. The freshly cooked Tempura was the best since it was very cold mid-winter. For the passenger aged under 5 years old there were no meal served,however, parents could share their meals because of the volume of food. There were a lot of choices in drinks, all included in the ticket price.
<Night Scenery>
The night scenery from Tokyo Bay is really beautiful. When the ship stops, you can climb up to the sky deck, and take in the magnificent view. It was during the Christmas illumination period, so Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV main office, and Tokyo Sky Tree all lighted up in Christmas mode. I just happened to see the fireworks of Odaiba which are held on Saturdays!

<Service>
The staff of the houseboat was amiable. Going out with small children is often troublesome. However, this houseboat excursion was very good. Staff was welcoming to small kids and entertained them. Parents could relax and enjoy the event.
Initially I was worried about the houseboat trip in winter. But it was great. I would like to go again in warmer weather.

Machiya House Tour at Nishijin Tondaya in Kyoto

Recommended to both Japanese and visitors

Reviewed by: mican

I wanted to have my foreign friend experience Japanese culture in Kyoto, so I applied for it.
We enjoyed choosing beautiful kimonos and wearing them. When taking photos in kimono, they advised us about posing. Townhouse tour was also interesting.
I also tried tea ceremony.
I truly recommend this tour to ladies. Joining this tour will make ladies so excited! You can have amazing experience.

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo

Very fun!

Reviewed by: Miki Mouse

I’m glad that I took part in this tour. I joined with a friend, and it was as if we both turned into models.
First of all, the studio is conveniently located, only 1-3 minutes from Kaminari-mon on foot. As it’s a rented room in a building, it was hard to find it. When we went inside, Kyonming spoke to use politely. The studio is small, but Kyongming made us really cute. We wore elegant kimonos with Nagoya obis. I recommend the Nagoya obi highly.

They arranged my hair simply and put 3 hair accessories on my hair! After putting Kimono on, it's time for a photo shoot! I was so excited about getting photographed and making many poses in Asakusa! Please have a look at pictures I attached! We had free time until 5 so had a stroll in Asakusa. However, tourists looked at us, they wanted take our pictures like paparazzi, so we were in many pictures with people from many countries for their souvenirs.
It was the best experience ever. I would love to do it with my friends again! You should try it at least once, as it is a rare opportunity to take pictures of you wearing Kimono at this price!

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo

Nice experienced and enjoyable

Reviewed by: Oradee

My husband and I arrived an hour late due to our mistake with trains. Despite this we received a warm welcome from Sakura-san. She was welcoming to both of us. She let me choose the Kimono and dressed me. She chose the flowers and shoes to match with the Kimono. I brought a paper fan but rented an umbrella as it was a hot day. Sakura San also gave me a 5% off voucher for rickshaw but I did not use it. I received compliments from many Japanese woman and also a lot of attention from tourists. I was asked by a western tourist if he could take my photo. I was very pleased with her service as I would recommend it to any lady to when in Tokyo. Asakusa is an appropriate location.

Kimono Dress-up Experience at Asakusa

Reviewed by: Ven

Trying this out was definitely one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Tokyo. The photo studio had a wide range of choices for kimonos with matching hair accessories. I liked how Sakura-san did my makeup and how she directed the photo shoot. Asakusa was lovely, I wish I could have allotted more time for this activity as there were so many nice places to see and stop by! I really hope I could do this again when I visit Tokyo.

I participated on the last day of my trip to Okinawa. Since I couldn't swim in the sea during winter, I was satisfied just to be able to go out on a boat. I was also very pleased with the shrimp for dinner. An attendant was singing Okinawan songs in front, which allowed me to enjoy a relaxing cruise.

One of the most anticipated experiences in Japan was wearing the traditional kimono. I didn't know there were so many things needed to complete a kimono.

Casual? カジュアル?

Reviewed by: sun

The weather was nice, and the food was delicious, but it felt a bit different from the atmosphere I was expecting. Rather than being stylish, it was quite casual. I would recommend it for those who enjoy that kind of vibe! The sunset was beautiful, but I thought I would wait until it sank a bit more to take photos, and before I knew it, I had missed my chance because it turned around. It's a shame. If you want to take pictures, I recommend doing so in between meals.

天気も良かったし、料理も美味しかったんですが…期待してた雰囲気とはちょっと違ったかな~という感じです。
お洒落というよりは、かなりカジュアル?そういった雰囲気が好きな方にはおすすめです!
サンセットが綺麗だったんですが、もう少し沈んでから写真を…と思ったら、いつのまにかUターンしていてシャッターチャンスを逃しました。残念です。写真を撮りたい方は、食事の合間に撮影することをおすすめします。

乗合屋形船 お台場&スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理&飲み放題付! 全船掘りごたつ&スカイデッキ完備<両国発>by 晴海屋

First experience on a yakatabune (houseboat)! 屋形船初体験!

Reviewed by: SSS

I had never been on a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) before, so I was really looking forward to this experience!

It took about a 5-minute walk from the station to the boarding location, and I arrived without any issues. Upon boarding, I was greeted by enthusiastic staff wearing hachimaki (headbands), and I was impressed by their cheerful greetings in both Japanese and English!

I quickly enjoyed a beer and savored delicious dishes. It seemed they were frying tempura on board, and freshly made tempura was continuously brought out!

We stopped at sightseeing spots like Odaiba, and during that time, we could go out on the deck to enjoy the view. The weather was great, so it felt wonderful, and I was glad I chose this day!

There was a wide range of participants, including people visiting Tokyo from various regions, locals, and international guests. The staff casually introduced everyone, which made the atmosphere on the boat very lively! It felt more like a guided yakatabune tour rather than just a boat ride, and I thought it would be great to use this experience again when my friends come to visit Tokyo!

屋形船には乗ったことがなかったので、非常に楽しみにして参加しました!

駅から乗船場所までは徒歩5分くらいで問題なく到着。
乗船すると、ハチマキをまいて気合いの入ったお姉さん方がお出迎えしてくださり、軽快なあいさつを日本語と英語で述べている姿に感心!

すぐにビールをいただき、おいしそうな料理に舌鼓。船内で天ぷらを揚げているようで、揚げたての天ぷらが続々と運ばれてきました!

お台場など、観光スポットでは停泊してくださり、その間は船の上に出て景色を眺めることができました。天気が良かったのでとても気持ちがよく、この日を選んでよかったです!

様々な地方から東京観光に来て乗船している方、近辺に住んでいる方、海外から来ている方など参加者の幅が広く、そういったこともお姉さん方が気さくに紹介してくださるので、船内はとても盛り上がります!
ただ船に乗るのではなく、観光ガイド付きの屋形船ツアーのようなイメージで、友人が東京へ遊びに来た時にでもまた使えたら良いなと思いました!

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Up Close Maiko Experience

Reviewed by: Sami

I signed up for this package thinking this tour was in English. It was in Japanese. Food was OK. Average food that you would expect from tours. Nothing amazing, but if you never had Kyoto dish this is a good experience for you. Dinner was near Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), not in Gion. Another detail that I had missed. Though it was impressive to see some trees as old as 500 years old in the Jaoanese garden where we had dinner, the garden itself was not so enjoyable. Night view of the Kyoto is lame and not sure if it was worth driving all the way across town for that. Recommended for Maiko experience only.

Traditional Maiko Dress-up Experience in Gion

A truly unique experience

Reviewed by: Marilyn

Where else can one do this? The staff is very accommodating. I speak no Japanese, but one of the girls, Satomi, spoke English very well. She was a dream! There are several colors kimonos to select from as well as obi and hair ornaments. Everyone gets a small locker to store your clothes/purse, etc. The photography session was lots of fun, laughing all the time.

I did have a little trouble finding the street and building, too, once I got on the correct street. A map or better written instructions would have been helpful. Also, maybe I missed it, but I didn't even seen a sign for this business? I wound up asking a local...who just happened to work there.

One other suggestion. The space to change clothes is very, very small. There were other clients in the small space, and the congestion was a bit difficult.

Overall, I'm so glad I did this. I learned a lot about the process & what it takes to be a Maiko. Satomi, you ROCK! Thanks so much for being so kind and helpful.

Thanks for coming!I'm Satomi,I'm glad that you've enjoyed our experience.
We're so sorry about our locker room.Since we only have a small space in our building, it's hard for us to get bigger space.
Our building is called"Machiya", it's build in 1900's so that's why we only have a small space.
"Machiya" is a Kyouto's traditional building,so many tourist love to see this.
Kyouto's street is very difficult to understand, sorry that we confused you.

Hope to see you again, thank you so much!

Wearing a kimono once in a while is nice, isn't it? たまには着物も良いですね。

Reviewed by: ライチョウ

I had a kimono experience in Asakusa before it got crowded for the New Year. It's been about 10 years since I last wore a kimono, aside from a yukata, so I was excited to see how it felt as I headed to Asakusa. The studio is located in a building, which might be a bit hard to find, but it's right where the map indicates. Just head inside the building without getting lost, and you'll find it right away.

First, you choose your kimono. They have a variety of options, from classic to modern styles. It might be fun to pick a pattern that's a bit different from what you usually wear. Once you've chosen your kimono, the staff will coordinate everything perfectly for you. They will also style your hair neatly, so there's no need to worry.

After getting dressed, I strolled around the streets of Asakusa. Nowadays, Asakusa has many foreign tourists, so there were moments of taking pictures together and interacting with them. I visited Senso-ji Temple, enjoyed some local craft beer at the base of Azumabashi, and had sushi on the famous sushi street in Asakusa before heading back to the studio. I fully enjoyed Asakusa in my kimono.

They also have options for men, so I thought it would be quite lovely for couples to participate in a kimono date for special occasions. I would like to join again sometime in the future.

お正月で込み合う前の浅草で着物体験してきました。着物を着るのは、浴衣をのぞけば10年ぶりくらいでしょうか?どんな感じだったかなとわくわくしながら浅草へ向かいました。スタジオはビルの一室。ちょっとわかりにくいですが、地図の通りの場所です。迷わずビルの中に入りましょう、そしたらすぐにわかります。
まずは、着物選びから。古典的なものからモダンなものまで、色々と揃っています。普段着ないようなちょっと変わった柄を選ぶと楽しいかもしれません。着物を選ぶと後は、着付けの方がすべてばっちりコーディネートしてくれます。髪の毛もきちんとアップにセットしてくれるので心配無用。
着付けが終わった後は、ぶらぶらと浅草の街の散策へ。今の浅草は、外国人観光客が多いので一緒に写真を撮ったり、撮られたりとそんなやりとりもところどころに。浅草寺へお参りし、吾妻橋のたもとで地ビールをのみ、浅草で有名なおすしやさんの並ぶすしやどおりでおすしをいただきスタジオへ戻りました。着物姿で浅草大満喫です。
男性用も用意されているので、記念日などにカップルで参加して着物でデートなんていうのもなかなか素敵だなと思いました。また、何かの折に参加したいと思います。

  • すっかりお正月の雰囲気でした

  • 髪の毛もばっちりセットしてくれます

  • 参道では揚げ饅頭がおすすめです

乗合屋形船 お台場&スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理&飲み放題付! 全船掘りごたつ&スカイデッキ完備<両国発>by 晴海屋

The winter yakatabune (houseboat) is also recommended! I want to participate again. 冬の屋形船もお勧め!また参加したいです。

Reviewed by: いずみん

We participated in a family birthday celebration with our two children. In addition to the Christmas illuminations at Odaiba and Tokyo Skytree, we also got to see the fireworks at Odaiba. With freshly fried tempura and all-you-can-drink options, everyone in the family was completely satisfied and full. It was truly a little luxury!

<Meeting Place>
On the morning of the event, I received a call from Harumiya to confirm the meeting place and time, which made me feel at ease about participating. Since many yakatabune (traditional Japanese boats) depart from the same dock, you can't board early. There is a staff member from Harumiya wearing a happi coat in front of the dock, where you check in and confirm your seating. Boarding starts about 15 minutes before departure.

<Onboard>
There are two rows of sunken kotatsu tables. Families with children like ours, couples, small groups, and employees from a company in Ibaraki all share the space, which creates a close-knit atmosphere where everyone gets along and enjoys a friendly vibe.

<Food & Drinks>
Initially, a full kaiseki meal is set up, and around the time we finish the hot pot, freshly fried tempura is served one type at a time. Everything is delicious, but the freshly fried, piping hot tempura is exceptional! Eating hot dishes in the warm cabin under the cold winter sky feels special. Children aged 0 to 5 do not receive meals, but there is enough food to share from the parents' dishes. The all-you-can-drink menu is also extensive, and I enjoyed the night view of Odaiba with a glass of wine in hand.

<Night View>
The night view of Tokyo from Tokyo Bay is truly beautiful. While docked, you can go up to the sky deck on the second floor and enjoy an unobstructed view. Since it was during the Christmas illuminations, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV headquarters, and Tokyo Skytree were all lit up for the holiday, and experiencing a "Japanese-style Christmas" from the yakatabune was wonderful. We were also lucky to see the Odaiba fireworks, which happened to be taking place on that Saturday, from the sky deck.

<Service>
The staff provided a lively and pleasant service with a down-to-earth Tokyo vibe. Going to restaurants can be daunting with small children, but this yakatabune welcomes kids, and the staff made sure to keep them entertained, allowing parents to relax and enjoy.

I was wondering what winter on a yakatabune would be like, but it turned out to be a great decision. I would love to participate again in a refreshing season!

家族の誕生日の祝いで、子供2人連れの家族で参加。お台場や東京スカイツリーのクリスマスイルミネーションに加えて、お台場の花火も見れました。揚げたての天麩羅&飲み放題で、家族全員が大満足・満腹。まさにプチ贅沢でした!

<集合場所>
当日の朝に「晴海屋」さんからお電話をいただき、集合場所や時間の再確認をしてくれたので、安心して参加することができました。同じ船着場から数多くの屋形船が出航するため、早く行っても乗船はできません。船着場の前にハッピを着た「晴海屋」さんのスタッフの方がいますので、そこでチェックインと座席の確認をします。出航時間の15分くらい前に乗船開始です。

<船内>
掘りごたつ式のテーブルが二列並んでいます。我々のような子連れの家族、カップル、小グループ、茨城の会社の社員旅行と、色々な人たちの乗り合いで、お互いが近い(間隔が狭め)ので、廻りの人たちとも仲良くなり、和気あいあいとした雰囲気です。

<料理&飲み物>
最初に懐石料理が一通りセッティングされていて、鍋を食べ終わったくらいのタイミングで、揚げたての天麩羅が1種類づつサーブされます。何を食べても美味しいのですが、やはり揚げたてアツアツの天麩羅は格別!真冬の寒空の下、温かい船内で食べるアツアツの料理は特別感があります。0~5歳で申込みをすると食事は付きませんが、親の料理を分けてあげても十分なほどの量があります。飲み放題メニューも豊富で、ワイン片手にお台場の夜景を堪能しました。

<夜景>
東京湾から見る東京の夜景は本当にキレイです。停泊中は2階のスカイデッキに上がって、何も遮るものがない絶景を見ることができます。ちょうどクリスマスイルミネーションの最中ということもあり、東京タワーやレインボーブリッジ、フジテレビ本社ビル、東京スカイツリーなどが全てクリスマス仕様のライトアップになっていて、それを屋形船から見る「和風クリスマス」もいいな~と実感しました。たまたま土曜日に行われているというお台場の花火もスカイデッキから見ることができ、本当にラッキーでした。

<サービス>
スタッフの方々は、東京の下町のいなせな感じで、ちゃきちゃとして気持ちの良いサービスでした。小さい子供連れだとレストランに行くのも億劫になるのですが、この屋形船は子供もウェルカム&スタッフ皆さんが子供たちが飽きないように気遣ってくださり、親も安心して楽しむことができました。


冬の屋形船ってどうなんだろう...と思っていましたが、結果大正解でした。次は爽やかな季節にまた参加したいです!

  • クリスマスカラーのレインボーブリッジ

  • 乗り合いで和気あいあいとした船内

  • 懐石料理 + 揚げたて天麩羅は美味でした!

  • フジテレビ本社ビルもクリスマスライトアップ!

  • 花火を特等席で見ることができました

Kimono in Asakusa 着物で浅草

Reviewed by: えりんこ

While I was looking for interesting places in Asakusa on my way to see the Tokyo Skytree, I came across this site. I think the price for kimono dressing, hair and makeup, studio, location shooting, and the shooting data is really cheap! There were dozens of kimonos to choose from, and they were all cute! It seems they try to avoid overlapping with other customers, so my friend and I were able to take our time getting dressed.

Since they provided hair accessories, a kimono bag, and sandals, it was great that we could go hands-free without bringing anything.

After getting dressed, we started with the location shooting. The photographer taught us various aspects of Asakusa's history while taking photos at hidden spots. They also took care of our bags while we were outside, which was really convenient!

At first, I felt a bit shy about being photographed, but it quickly became fun, and I was asked by various people to take pictures, feeling like an idol (≧∇≦). After the shoot, we had free time and headed straight to the Tokyo Skytree! The view while wearing a kimono felt so elegant and wonderful!

Wandering the streets of Asakusa in a kimono gave me a unique experience that was different from usual! Since the kimono was authentic, I really want many people to try this experience!

スカイツリーを見に行くついでに浅草で面白いところがないかと探していたときにこのサイトに出会いました。
着付けとヘアメイク、スタジオ、ロケーション撮影と撮影データも付いてこの価格は本当に安いと思います!
着物は数十着のなかから選べてどれも可愛かったです!他のお客さんとかぶらないようにしているらしく友人とゆっくり着付けしてもらえました。
髪飾りや着物用バック、草履も付いているので持ち物がなく手ぶらでいけるのもとてもよかったです。

着付けが終わって撮影はまずロケーションでした。カメラマンさんが色々浅草の歴史を教えくれながら穴場スポットで撮影しました。外にいる間は荷物も預かってくれるので楽チンでした!

最初は撮影するのが少し恥ずかしかったですが、どんどん楽しくなって色々な人に写真を撮らせてとお願いされてまるでアイドルのようでした(≧∇≦)
撮影が終わってからは自由行動で早速スカイツリーへGO!
着物で見る景色はなんだか風情があって素敵でした!

着物を着て浅草の街を散策していつもとは一味も二味も違う体験ができました!
着物も本格的なので是非色々な人にに体験してもらいたいと思いました!!

Model experience in Asakusa! 浅草でモデル体験!

Reviewed by: よーだ

Since my friend had never been to the Tokyo Skytree, I decided to sign up for something special! The photo studio was just a short walk from Asakusa Station. The location was a bit tricky to find, but we got there quickly.

Once inside, the staff welcomed us. Since we were the only ones there, it felt very relaxing. First, we could choose from a wide variety of obi, kimonos, and hair accessories. I was surprised by the number of options and the authenticity of the kimonos! I chose a navy floral pattern. The staff efficiently styled my hair and dressed me, and then we began the photo shoot. We took pictures at four to five different outdoor locations.

I've been to Asakusa several times, but they took us to hidden spots I didn't know existed. Many people, especially foreigners, approached us asking, "What kind of shoot is this?" and "Can we take a picture together?" It felt like I had become a model!

After about an hour of shooting, we had free time. We took the train to the Tokyo Skytree, returned to Asakusa, and enjoyed some food walking before having tea at a retro café.

As long as we returned the kimono by 5 PM, we had plenty of time to explore.

I was amazed at how such an extraordinary experience was possible in Tokyo, and I had a fulfilling day. After changing out of the kimono, I felt really lonely not being approached by anyone anymore!

My friend and I are already talking about wanting to do this again next year! I highly recommend this unique experience!

友達がスカイツリーに行ったことがないとのことだったので、何か特別な体験をしたいと思い申し込みました!
フォトスタジオは浅草駅からすぐでした。ちょっと場所はわかりずらいですが、すぐ辿りつけました。
中に入るとスタッフの方が出迎えてくれます。私たちだけしかいないので、リラックスできましたよ。
まずはたくさんある帯、着物、髪飾りから好きなものを選べます。
種類の多さと、本格的なお着物でびっくり!私は紺のお花柄にしました。手際よく、髪のセット、着付けをしていただき、いざ撮影に入ります。お外で4-5箇所撮影していただきました。
浅草は何度か行ってますが、こんな場所あったんだというような隠れスポットで
撮影してくれます。
めちゃくちゃいろんな方(特に外国人)から、「何の撮影ですか?」「一緒に写真とってもらえますか?」と話かけてもらえてまるで自分がモデルになったかのようでしたww
1時間程の撮影の後、自由時間です。私たちは電車でスカイツリーに行き、浅草に戻って、浅草で食べ歩きをして、レトロな喫茶店でお茶をしました。

17時までに着物を返せばいいので、散策時間はたっぷりありましたよ。

東京でもこんなに非日常的な体験を味わるものかとすごく充実した一日をおくることができました。
着物を脱いで、誰からも声をかけられなくなってすごく寂しくなりましたww

友達とはまた来年やりたいねって言ってます!こんな非日常体験おすすめです!

  • 神社での撮影

  • 髪かざり♪

  • 浅草の観光地を歩きますー

  • これも撮影中です!

I had an amazing time! 最高に楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: Miki Mouse

I had a great time participating in this tour. I joined with a friend, and it felt like we were models together.

First of all, the studio was really close, just a 1-2 minute walk from Kaminarimon. It seems like the studio is renting a room in a building, so it was a bit hard to find, but once we entered, Kyonmin, our guide, spoke to us kindly. The studio was small, but it felt comforting, and I was able to express my wishes to Kyonmin, resulting in a really cute finish. The kimono was very elegant, paired with a Nagoya obi! I highly recommend the Nagoya obi! The hair arrangement was simple, and they added three accessories for me!

Once dressed in the kimono, it was time for the photoshoot! We took various poses in Asakusa, feeling excited during the shoot! Please be sure to check out the photos! Lastly, we had free time until 5 PM to explore Asakusa at our leisure. However, tourists were paying attention to us—like paparazzi, they took our pictures, and we ended up in memories with people from various countries.

Overall, it was the best experience. I definitely want to do it again with friends! It's hard to find such a wonderful kimono at this price for photos, so please try it at least once!

このツアーに参加してとっても良かったです。友達と参加しましたがまるで2人でモデルさんになったみたいです。
まずはスタジオの近さ、本当に雷門から徒歩1,2分のところでした。スタジオはビルの一室を借りているようなのでちょっとわかりにくいのが、入ると担当のキョンミンさんが丁寧に話してくれました。スタジオも小さいが、なんかホッとしてキョンミンさんに希望も言えてすごい可愛く仕上がりました。とっても上品なお着物に名古屋帯!名古屋帯をおすすめします!ヘアアレンジもシンプルにアクセも3つ入れてくれました!着物を着ると撮影タイム!浅草で色々ボーズを取りとってもウキウキしながら撮影!付けた写真をぜひ見てください!最後に5時まで自由時間があるので自由に浅草散策。でも観光客が私達に注目~パパラッチのように私達の写真を取り色々の国の人と思い出の写真に入りました。
全体的に最高の体験でした。是非また友達とやりたいです!なかなかこの価格で、この素敵な着物では写真が取れないのでぜひ一度は体験してみてください!!

  • 紅葉だったのでよりいい!!

  • 素敵な名古屋帯!

It is so interesting to observe an old traditional house and learn about the life of a merchant's family! We want to visit again when some seasonal events are held.

Used for a child's birthday celebration. 子供の誕生日記念に利用

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was a wonderful sunset cruise. We used it for my child's birthday, and we received a birthday song, commemorative photos, and even original tropical drinks, which made for great memories.

The food was also plentiful and delicious. Next time, I would like to try the barbecue on the third floor.

とても素敵なサンセットクルーズでした。
子供の誕生日に利用しましたが、バースデーソングと
記念撮影とオリジナルトロピカルドリンクまでサービス
いただきとてもいい思い出となりました。

お料理もボリュームがあっておいしかったです。

A little more explanation in English... 英語の説明がもう少し...

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was a fascinating experience since it's not often that you can enter an actual town house. The explanations in English were given with great effort, but I had hoped for something more detailed and fluent, so I was a bit disappointed. I believe there wouldn't have been any issues if it had been in Japanese. I hope for further improvement in English skills in the future. I didn't experience wearing a kimono, but I'm sure foreign women would enjoy it.

なかなか実際の町屋には入れませんから、興味深くいい体験でした。英語での説明は一生懸命頑張っておられましたが、もっと詳しく、流暢にされるものと思って行ったので、ちょっぴり期待外れ。 日本語でなら、きっと問題はなかったことと思います。今後、更に英語のスキルアップされることを期待いたします。着物体験はしませんでしたが、外人の女性の方なら、きっと楽しまれることと思います。
