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

great day! great dress!

Reviewed by: Doc Nice

I've always wondered how it felt like to wear a Kimono. I never knew how elaborate it is to wear it, until I tried it. It was so beautiful... I was carefully dressed up from head to foot by three people, as if I was a VIP. Their efforts paid off since many strangers praised how I looked.Walking around wearing the Kimono was an experience I'll never forget. In fact, I will do it again if I will have the chance to go back to Japan.

【着物・浴衣レンタル】雷門徒歩2分!下町情緒溢れる浅草で着物散策<着付け・ヘアセット込/人力車割引券付き/浅草>by サクラフォトスタジオ

Recommended experiential walking tour in Asakusa for foreigners. 外国人におすすめの体験型浅草散策

Reviewed by: Momotaro

A German and a Swiss couple who are friends of mine are coming to Tokyo, and I thought a typical bus tour would be boring, so I arranged this kimono experience through an online search. I kept it a secret from my friends until we entered the shop, which made it a surprise, and they were super excited as soon as we walked in. The staff were very proficient in English and Korean, and they were efficient and kind, helping with the kimono dressing and styling the women's hair, which made my friends very happy. After getting dressed in the kimono, we quickly headed to Senso-ji and Nakamise, where we were approached by various other foreign and Japanese tourists, making us feel like little stars, which brought even more joy. We took lots of commemorative photos with Senso-ji in the background, and my friends said it became an unforgettable memory. This is definitely the best "omotenashi" for guiding friends from abroad in Tokyo, and I highly recommend Sakura Photo Studio.

友人のドイツ人とスイス人のカップルが東京に来るというので、月並みなはとバスツアーなどの観光ではつまらないと思い、ネット検索でこの着物体験をアレンジ。
友人たちには、お店に入るまで内緒にしていたので、サプライズサプライズとなり、お店に入った途端に超興奮。
お店の方が英語、韓国語など、外国語がすごく堪能で、手際もよく、親切に着物のきつけ、女性の髪形のセットもしてくださり、友人たちは大喜び。着物の着付けが終わって、早速、浅草寺、仲見世に繰り出したところ、いろんな他の外国人や日本人の観光客の人達に声をかけられ、ちょっとしたスター気分に、またまた、おお喜び。
浅草寺をバックにたくさんの記念写真をとって、「忘れられない思い出になった」と友人たちはとても喜んでくれました。
外国からの友人を東京案内するには、最高の「おもてなし」になること間違いなし、おすすめのサクラフォトスタジオです。

very nice Kimono choices

Reviewed by: MHZ

This is the only place we found offer Kimono, not simple summer clothing in Tokyo. The selection is very broad in all kinds of colors. The dressing service and over experience is wonderful. The photographer is nice too. It is important to keep in mind that the photography fee is depending on number of people in the group. So since we have 3 people, we need to pay 15,000 JPN Yen for hiring the photographer.

We actually ended up arriving to the kimono studio on the wrong day but they were so accommodating and allowed us to get the kimono dressing done that day even though they were busy. They have a heap of kimonos to choose from, lots of hair accessories, and the hair lady does wonderful braids.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Professional Kimono Pictures and Experience

Reviewed by: Sharon

I have always wanted to try a Kimono but never had a chance to, so definitely wanted to try this photo shoot when I came to Japan. The whole experience was so amazingly wonderful. The girls spoke English well and we were able to communicate. There were so many different gorgeous Kimonos to choose from. They help to make my hair and had an abundance of hair pins to choose from (There were so many different ones that I couldn't make my choice but was glad that I had their guidance.) The photo shoot was very friendly and fun. I definitely enjoyed my pictures afterwards and wanted all of them. Best of all, you finished your experience with sweets and macha tea in the end. What girl doesn't like ending with sweets right? This was definitely a fun experience and would recommend to anyone!

Dear Sharon, thank you very much for your review. We are very glad that you had a wonderful Kimono experience with your favorite kimono and favorite hair pin. Friendliness is probably one of our best points, will continue this atmosphere! Please come back to Japan again.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Beautiful Kimonos and Incredible welcome

Reviewed by: Ffion

As there were no reviews of this experience, I was not sure what to expect but as soon as our taxi pulled up at the address and there was a clear sign directing to us to the right floor, I was reassured!

We were greeted by two incredibly hospitable and welcoming Japanese ladies who were incredibly passionate about their business. It was honestly a priviledge to visit them in their studio. First there was the opportunity to choose a Kimono to my tastes and then they did my hair in a style fitting for the Kimono (you also get to choose matching hair accessories too) which was great. After this I touched up my make up and they began to put the Kimono on.

The main experience is then having your photos taken in the studio part along with some fun Japanese accessories. For this experience you have one printed photo included from the photo shoot and you can pay extra to take the digital prints away - which I did as it wasn't too expensive.

I can honestly say that the whole experience was fun and professional with the Japanese ladies making you feel totally at ease the whole time. My husband came along (but he didn't fancy dressing up!) and they made him feel very welcome too and let him take photos of me for free in the kimono outside of the studio too (which I thought was very generous).

After the photo shoot we were both served some delicious green tea and Japanese sweets which ended off the experience brilliantly. This was a totally worthwhile experience and in my opinion much better than walking around outside in a Kimono which I saw lots of tourists do! The quality of their kimonos is so much better and as they are more princess style, it feels incredibly luxurious to wear them. As the lift doors closed at the end of this experience we were left with the image of the two ladies bowing to us on our way out - I cannot rate them highly enough.

Overall a fantastic experience and I'm so glad I chose to do it!

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Wonderful Japanese Shoot

Reviewed by: Andy

We signed up for the kimono experience plan because my wife loves Japan and has always wanted to try on a Kimono. The whole experience turned amazing. Despite being unfamiliar with the area, the studio was very, very easy to find located in the NW corner of JR Meguro. The studio itself was very inviting and personal. We were greeted by the girls who spoke English and were super friendly. They informed us on the schedule and details of our plan, so there were no surprises later. Once done, she provided me with a catalog with all the different traditional Japanese men’s wear to choose from. As I have never worn this before, I definitely needed the ladies to help me so that I didn’t wear the pants on backwards! We then proceeded to the studio where they took probably 15-20 photos. They had all sort of different props from me ranging from samurai swords to Japanese umbrellas which was fun. The shoot throughout was very engaging, where the photographer is constantly interacting with you. As I never have modeled for anything, she was very helpful in terms of telling me how to pose, where to put my arm, and where to look. At no point during the shoot did I feel uncomfortable or unnatural. Once done, they allowed you back to the dressing room, where you were actually allowed to use your own phone or camera to take a few pictures for yourself! Since I only purchased the basic package, I was able to choose only 1 pic. However, many of the photos really turned out well and getting extras weren’t so expensive so I picked up more. Even if I selected the whole package of the shoot, the cost was still fairly reasonable (5000 yen). Best of all, the girls are never pushy for you to buy any photos. All in all, this turned out to be a wonderful experience and probably was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming to Japan and hoping for a Japanese experience with pictures to remember.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Friendly ladies who will not only dress you up as a princess but also make you feel like a one!

Reviewed by: Nikki

When I first booked this experience, I expected that (because kimono is quite an expensive thing) I will feel uncomfortable wearing it and taking pictures. As I come from the country where people providing services are not really that friendly I also expected formal atmosphere. But the reality was complete opposite! The three ladies working at the studio Wa were soooo friendly and created such a atmosphere, that I couldn´t help but laugh during the whole photoshooting. When we entered the studio, they already expected me and my friend and we received very warm welcome. Then they arranged our hairstyle very pretty so it will match with kimono and we got to choose the hair accessory on our own. Also we chose the kimono we wanted to take pictures in. Even though it took us quite a lot of time they waited patiently for us to decide. Then one of the ladies helped us with wearing kimono and the others prepared for the photoshooting. They took around 20 pictures of each of us (also with some props like a sword, flowers, an umbrella) . Then we took off the kimono and got to choose one picture to be printed out. Me and my friend were so satisfied with the pictures that we decided to pay for all of them to get them on CD. While we waited for the CDs, the ladies served us with original japanese matcha - green tea and sweets. For the whole time we were there, they were really friendly. The best hospitality! Even when we returned home and I had a problem displaying pictures on my computer, so I wrote to the studio and they replied within few hours and sent me pictures again.
Honestly, I can´t find anything to complain about. The whole studio is really cozy and close to the Meguro Station, and one lady can speak English very well. I will definitely recommend this place not only here but also to my friends. And I really wouldn´t mind taking my pictures in kimono there again :) They also have a facebook page so you can check some of the photos there.

Dear Nikki, thank you very much for such a kind review, especially we are impressed with the word, "The best hospitality!" Yes, "friendly" is probably the best word to describe our studio.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Very enjoyable experience

Reviewed by: Andy

I participated in this activity in the beginning of April with my friend and it was a very enjoyable experience. The Kimono studio is a quite small business with a family atmosphere. There were no other customers at the time, which seemed to be the standard circumstances. The two of us had 3 women staff at our disposal, who took very good care of us. They brushed our hair, provided basic make-up products and dressed us in the kimono of our choosing, which would have been very complicated otherwise. There were about 7 types of kimono in different colours to choose from. If you want your choice to match you perfectly, ask them to show you the real kimono, because the photograph in the catalogue is quite misleading. The shooting itself took about fifteen minutes. You can tell it is not a professional shooting session, but the staff is very pleasant and they try hard to make it work. They also have some additional accessories such as umbrellas, flowers, fans and katanas. Every one of us got 20 photos and we could choose one to be printed out free of charge. If you want the digital version of the whole collection, you need to pay extra money and they burn it out for you on a cd. After the shooting we received a real matcha tea and some sweats. To sum up, this activity is definitely worth the money. It is a great experience!

Dear Andy, thank you very much for your review. We are glad to hear you had a great experience with us. I learned a lot from your review, we would like to increase more kimono selections and would like to advise more for the kimono match when our customers choose kimono.

I used this plan to hang out with my friends on a holiday!

I wanted to spend a different kind of holiday than usual, so I decided to use this plan.

There was a wide variety of kimono styles, and I happily consulted with other customers there to choose one. The dressing and hair setup were done very efficiently in about 30 minutes per person.

After putting on the kimono, we thoroughly enjoyed Asakusa by visiting Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Skytree, Sumida Aquarium, and having tea at Angelus! It was fun to stroll around Asakusa with a fresh feeling.

I heard they can also accommodate English and Korean, so it might be nice to bring foreign friends and treat them! I want to invite my friends again and use this plan in summer with yukata!

Sometimes, a stroll in Asakusa in a kimono. たまには着物で浅草さんぽ

Reviewed by: くもじい

While reading a novel set in Edo, I really wanted to wear a kimono and walk around the downtown area, so I made a reservation here. The studio had many international customers, including people from Taiwan and Thailand.

Although the studio isn't very large, there are plenty of kimonos to choose from, to the point where I was almost overwhelmed. The staff provided great advice to help me quickly decide on hair accessories and an obi. The fitting was speedy yet thorough, with just the right amount of tightness so that it wasn't uncomfortable to walk. The hairstyling was simple but cute, with lovely braids.

This time, I decided to add the photo shoot option. We started the shoot by walking from the studio to Senso-ji Temple. The photographer was very friendly and shared a lot of information about Asakusa, almost like a guide. My husband, slightly nervous in his hakama, and I, feeling a bit shy in my kimono, were able to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere thanks to the pleasant conversation.

There were New Year's decorations, creating a unique atmosphere in Asakusa during the year-end and New Year period. I wondered if there were couples like us in the Edo period as we enjoyed the hour-long photo shoot.

Even without the photo shoot, I think the price is a great deal for kimono rental with hairstyling, allowing you to wear it until the evening. It would be nice to see more variety in men's kimonos as well.

江戸が舞台の小説を読んでいたらどうしても着物を着て下町の街を歩いてみたくなりこちらを予約してみました。

そこまで広くないスタジオですが、十分に選べるだけの着物があり、逆に迷って決められないくらい。髪飾りも帯も、ぱぱっと決められるようスタジオの方がいい具合にアドバイスをくれます。
着付けはスピーディですがしっかりとしてました。歩いていても苦しくないほどよい締め具合、ヘアセットも簡単ですがかわいく編み込んでくれました。
今回は思い切って写真撮影のオプションを付けました。スタジオから浅草寺へ歩いて撮影開始。カメラマンさんだけど、浅草について沢山お話をしてくれてまるでガイドさんみたいな方でした。袴姿にやや緊張気味の夫と、着物でちょっと恥ずかしい私でしたが、お陰で楽しいおしゃべりに和んだ雰囲気で撮影できましたよ。
ちょうどお正月の飾りがあり年末年始の独特な雰囲気の浅草。江戸の時代にもこんな夫婦がいたのかな、なんて思いにふけりながら、1時間ほどの撮影を楽しみました。
写真撮影なしでも、着物レンタルにヘアセットもついて、夕方まで着て過ごせてこの値段はお得だと思います。男性の着物ももっと種類があると嬉しいですね。

It's that time of year again! I fully enjoyed Kimono Day in Asakusa. 恒例!年末の着物Day 浅草満喫しました。

Reviewed by: ライチョウ

Every year, I enjoy wearing a kimono at the end of December. This year, I used Kim's Sakura Photo Studio again. As always, the dressing time was incredibly quick! There were two of us, and the total dressing time was about 30 minutes, so it went by in no time with two staff members assisting us. The variety of kimonos in terms of colors and patterns was abundant, even more so than last year. I chose a somewhat subdued colored kimono with a flashy obi, accented with pink. We entered the studio at 10:30, and our free time started at 11:00.

First, we filled up at a sushi restaurant where the tuna is cheap and delicious, then we enjoyed the retro atmosphere and Dutch coffee (cold brew coffee) at the long-established café Angelus, which opened in 1946. Finally, we had a great time at the Asakusa Engei Hall enjoying a variety show. The afternoon show at Asakusa Engei Hall ends at 4:10 PM, so if we listen until the end and return to the studio, we can easily make it back by the kimono return time of 5 PM.

I rarely have the opportunity to wear a kimono in my daily life, but it’s a nice change of pace. With this service, there's no need to buy a kimono myself, and I can enjoy various styles, so I think it would be fun to invite my close friends for a kimono girls' gathering in Asakusa.

毎年、12月末に着物を着て楽しんでいます。今年も金さんのサクラフォトスタジオを利用しました。相変わらずの迅速な着付けタイム!2人参加でしたが、着付けの所要時間はあわせて約30分程、2名で対応していただけるのであっという間です。着物の種類も色、柄ともに品揃えが多く、昨年よりも充実していました。ちょっと地味目の色の着物に、派手めの帯、アクセントにはピンクであわせていただきました。10:30にスタジオに入り、11:00から自由行動スタートです。

まずは、まぐろが安くて美味しいお鮨やさんで腹ごしらえ、その後、昭和21年開業の老舗喫茶店アンヂェラスでレトロな雰囲気とダッチコーヒー(水出しアイスコーヒー)を味わい最後は、浅草演芸ホールで寄席を楽しみました。浅草演芸ホールの昼の部は終了が午後4時10分、最後まで聞いてからスタジオに戻れば着物の返却時間の17時には余裕で間に合います。

着物を着る機会が普段ではめったにありませんが、気分転換にもなってなかなかいいものです。このサービスなら自分で着物を買う必要もなく、色々なパターンのものが楽しめるので仲良しの友達を誘って、着物浅草女子会なんてやってみてもいいなと思います。

  • まずは参道で。年末ですが観光客でごった返しています。

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

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.

"We had an excellent experience at Seisouji. We arrived at our scheduled appointment and were immediately greeted by a very friendly staff who showed us a few choices of kimonos to choose from. Once we chose our kimonos, my girlfriend and I were greeted downstairs 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. :)"

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. We walked around Asakusa and all the tourists were clicking their cameras. I felt like a celebrity. It was a very good experience I can never forget.

Exploring Asakusa in a yukata is a lot of fun. 浴衣で浅草散策はとっても楽しいです。

I am surprised that I could get everything from kimono dressing to hair arrangement at such a reasonable price. They have a wide variety of beautiful yukata available for rental.

Thank you for the wonderful experience.
