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

Explored Asakusa and Senso-ji Temple in a Kimono!

Reviewed by: Anna

Newfound respect for the ladies who had to wear kimonos on a daily basis back in the day! I didn't know the prep was so tedious. It was both surprisingly fun and tiring to walk in a kimono. We ate street food, shopped around Orange St and walked to Senso-ji Temple while we were wearing them. We were lucky that the place where we rented it from had actual silk kimonos instead of polyester because it was a very hot Sunday afternoon. Would recommend this experience to first time Tokyo visitors!

I went with my husband and parents and we enjoyed every moment.
The staff was awesome and made us laugh and enjoy ourselves throughout the whole experience.
The costumes were great and very authentic, and walking around Shibuya having everyone take our photos was a once in a life time experience.
Highly recommended!

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

So that's how it feels like! :)

Reviewed by: John Paul

I was the only guy in the room! Why did it felt like I'm the only one who tried to wear it that day, haha! But I guess it's not a bad thing? :D Wearing the Kimono in public feels a little bit awkward at first, but as we go on, it feels fine. Maybe one of the most unforgettable experiences I had :)

Kimono Dress-up

Reviewed by: Sheila

I didn't enjoy this tour. I didn't expect that I had to strip off my clothes in a space (with just a cloth as a door) with other strangers. Wearing the kimono was uncomfortable. It was heavy and complicated to wear (and take off). That particular day was also hot, so I was all sweaty and uneasy while walking outside. Good thing about this tour was the friendly staff at the Sakura Photo Studio.

Kimono

It was a great experience, my mum loved it!! I am glad our booking was early as by the time we came back it was a little but hectic. Also, they need to put signs out or something more visual out so people can find the shop. We caught a cab, as we were running late, but if we caught public transport we would be really lost.

The hospitality for foreigners is definitely the Kimono Experience ;) 外国人のおもてなしは、やっぱりKimono Experience ;)

Reviewed by: Patchi

I made a reservation for a kimono experience that was a must-do for my relatives visiting Japan for the first time from the UK. On the day of the experience, I requested a last-minute change to the reservation time, and they were very flexible in accommodating me, which was a great help. It was quite crowded due to Golden Week, but the staff were efficient, and the dressing and hair styling were completed without much waiting.

Even with the most basic plan, there were more kimono options to choose from than I expected, so you’re sure to find a favorite. My relative chose a white kimono with floral patterns. While exploring Asakusa, many people complimented her with "cute!" and "Awesome!", and she seemed very happy.

I’m really glad that my important relative enjoyed it so much. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do this again.

UKから親戚が初来日ということで、絶対に外せない着物体験を予約。当日急遽予約時間の変更をお願いしましたが、フレキシブルに対応いただきとても助かりました。GWのためかなり混みあっていましたが、スタッフの皆さん手際がよく、さほど待つこともなく着付け・ヘアメイクが終了。
一番安いベーシックプランでも思ったより選べる着物が多く、お気に入りの一枚がきっと見つかるでしょう。親戚は白色×花柄を選択。浅草散策では色々な方に「かわいい！」「Awesome!」と声をかけてもらえ、嬉しそうでした。
大切な親戚にとても喜んでもらえて本当に良かったです。また機会がありましたら宜しくお願いします。

We requested an outdoor photo shoot in Asakusa with a four-year-old girl in a furisode and Shichi-Go-San formal attire. Fortunately, the weather was great on the day of the shoot. Although the child's whims caused the session to run longer than expected, the shop was accommodating and stayed with us until the end of the shoot, which was a great help. There was also a discount for the rickshaw, which we used for the photo shoot. Everyone, from the hairstylist to the photographer and the rickshaw puller, was fluent in English, which was very helpful. The photos are not ready yet, but I am looking forward to them. I would definitely use their services again if the opportunity arises.

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

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Roxie

I scheduled our appointment for the very first of the day and was so glad that I did. We were the only ones there and had our pick of so many kimonos that I almost couldn't decide which one to wear. When we came back to return our kimonos, the studio was full with three or four people. The woman who runs the place speaks good english and was so sweet and delightful. She made the whole experience of picking out our kimonos and dressing so much fun. The best part was getting to walk around Tokyo in our kimonos. At first we were a little anxious, because we seemed to be getting a lot of looks. The Japanese people seemed to get a kick out of seeing foreigners dressed in kimonos as they'd mostly smile and do the little nod bow thing. We walked from the studio to Nakamise shopping street and Sensoji shrine. By the time we'd gotten through those two sight seeing places we started to see a lot of other people dressed in kimonos. As we saw the other people in kimonos, I realized how much nicer the Sakura studio dressing experience was than all the others as we looked way better than everyone else we saw. My husband had the kimono top with the hakama pants on and the kimono jacket over top. The other men I saw had just the kimono and jacket, no pants. It could have been a choice on their part, I'm not sure, but I thought the pants looked better. My obi was an actual obi that the woman tied into a really cool knot and added a second accent pre-tied knot that made it look really cool. The other women I saw walking around had only a pretty poor looking pre-tied obi on. We also got to pick out Zori sandals and a kimono purse to go with our kimonos. I was also surprised at how warm the whole getup was. It was around 50 degrees outside the whole day but I wasn't cold at all, and I usually get cold very easily. Overall, I would recommend this activity, and I would definitely recommend the Sakura Studio.

A valuable trip for my mother and grandmother with a kimono experience for three generations. 3世代で着物体験★母・祖母の貴重な旅行となりました

Reviewed by: さつまっころ

I made a reservation for a special experience because my mother and grandmother were visiting my daughter (me) for the first time from Kyushu.

I hadn't told my grandmother where we were going, so when we arrived at the studio, she almost tried to run away, and I apologize for the trouble. However, the staff kindly helped her change while complimenting her, and she was able to change clothes safely.

The four of us, three generations plus the main character, got to wear kimonos, and we also requested the optional photography on-site (4,000 yen for one photo per group).

Since it's not often that people in their 60s and 90s wear bright patterns, it seemed to be a refreshing experience for them, and both were very happy, looking at the photos at home.

When we come to Tokyo again, we would love to visit again. Thank you for your kindness!

なかなか60代90代になると明るい柄を着ることもないので新鮮だったようで2人ともとても喜んでおり家でもずっと写真を眺めています。

A Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Amanda F.

My wife and I did this experience together. The dressing studio is small and bustling, and being able to experience the art of formal kimono dressing was something we will never forget. Although we were the only foreigners there, suggesting this place does a robust local business, the English-speaking assistant was very accommodating. We were given a variety of beautiful kimonos to choose from, and ended up adding on a photo shoot package at the last minute, which they were great about. I have already recommended this experience to a friend who is traveling to Tokyo in a couple weeks.

10/10, Would Do Again

Reviewed by: Hannah

I brought my family to Asakusa, solely to participate in this activity. At first, they were very apphrehensive, but after donning the kimonos with the help and reassurances of the staff, my parents enjoyed this as much as I, a young adult, did!
If you're looking for a fun family activity, or an activity that allows you to dress up and admire the beauty of Japan's reach history, then this is the one for you! The staff are super duper helpful, and assisted us in finding the best places to photograph our outing! The staff also pointed us to Kaminarimon, a Japanese gate whose shopping street leads you directly to Senso-ji, Asakusa's most famous temple!
My only regret is that the selection of kimonos mostly consists of flower themed fabric; there were little to none featuring animals such as skylarks, koi, or even just trees and branches. But other than that, this experience was well worth it!

I did this with my 12y.o daughter. It was a great experience. Even though we don't speak Japanese, the ladies looked after us and did our hair & makeup as well as dressed us. They were very friendly and polite. The dressing up was just as much fun as the walking about. We only lasted 90 mins in costume as it was a hot sultry day and a festival was on so very crowded when we walked to the temple.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

You should do it!

Reviewed by: HappyHawaiian

Wear a real kimono? Check that off the bucket list and preserve those memories in one easy experience. The studio is conveniently located near to Meguro station, within walking distance, even for a two and three year old. The two owners are fluent in English and were EXCELLENT in helping to prepare and photograph my rambunctious toddlers...not an easy feat! Our family looked GREAT and the pictures are fantastic!

My only caution is that although the description reads "40 cuts", you actually only receive your top two choices and need to pay more in order to have all of your pics put onto a cd. It was still a reasonable price, it's just that we weren't expecting additional costs prior to arriving, although it was made clear to us at the beginning of the session.

All in all, the ladies went above and beyond to give us a wonderful family experience.

Kimono Rental at Sakura Photo Studio

Reviewed by: Yolette

Short review: BOOK IT NOW! Do not hesitate and just do it!

Detailed review:
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time! We got to choose from a huge collection of kimonos (seemed like 100+ styles for women). The ladies spoke English decently and put in a lot of effort to putting on my kimono. I am on the bustier side (34Ds) and after teasing that they were "too big", the lady wrapped them up tightly and made me feel and look beautiful (so don't be worried, busty ladies!).

I didn't have a choice on hairstyle (or I wasn't asked what I wanted). I just let the lady do what she felt was best. After doing my hair, I got to choose a hair piece from the "free" collection or fancier ones for an extra 500 yen.

We then roamed Asakusa and felt like celebrities! Everyone were taking pictures of us and with us. One thing I regret forgetting to do was buying an umbrella to look even more the part, but we still had a blast!

I definitely recommend this to everyone! Try to go right when they open so you have the first pick for kimonos!

Holiday Highlight ホリデーハイライト

Reviewed by: ダフ由貴子

I wore a kimono with three foreigners from Australia, making it four of us in total. While walking around the city, I noticed other people in kimonos, but something was different! The kimonos from Sakura Photo Studio were incredibly luxurious compared to others! Many people complimented us, saying "beautiful!", "cool!", and "cute!". We were even asked, "Did you go to a wedding?" because we were dressed so elegantly. When I showed the photos to my friends, they praised me, saying, "You really got to wear a nice kimono." During this trip, we also visited Disneyland and Odaiba, but all three of us agreed that "the day we wore kimonos was the highlight of the holiday." Next time I bring foreigners with me, I plan to rely on Sakura Photo Studio again.

「結婚式にでも行ったの？」と聞かれるくらい、本当に豪華に着つけしてもらいました。

Amazing Must Do Experience in Asakusa!

Reviewed by: Maiko

I could not have asked for a better way to spend my vacation day in Asakusa than being able to roam around with a Kimono. The moment I entered their office, I was greeted immediately by the ladies there, and I can attest that they are all professionals. There's an array of kimonos and hakamas to choose from, and it only took less than 30 minutes for them to dress me. For women, they even fix your hair for you. When I posted up my pictures, all of my friends who visited Japan before were jealous that I got to experience this. This is definitely another way to immerse yourself in the culture, and a great way to spend your visit in Japan.

Thank you to the ladies for being so dandy! You will be pleased to know that I recommended you to all of my friends and family.

Make sure to wear not see through clothing for your inner because you need to wear your kimono in-front of others. Overall, it can be improve in future and the host is great in many languages!
