最初は不快に感じましたが、数分後には楽しんで、他の人が私たちを見ている中でそれを着ることに慣れました。
I find it uncomfortable at first but minutes later, I enjoyed and somehow get used to wearing it while other people are looking at us.

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.

My friend and I had a wonderful time having ourselves dressed up in Kimonos (size UK14 to 18)..feeling great and walking along the streets of Asakusa, taking in the wonderful feel of Spring, with full bloom sakura trees around. We also engaged a cameraman to tale pictures of us. A once in a lifetime experience, wonderful and it does not hurt my pocket ;) I would highly recommend this unique and life time experience to those who wish to experience for themselves, one of many Japanese cultures. Thanks to our host, Kiyomi and her team (1 other assistant and Hiroshi, the cameraman).

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I learned so much about what it takes to be a Maiko. Satomi was the dresser/make-up artist who helped me. She spoke English, which enabled me to learn a lot about the process and what all is involved in becoming a Maiko. I highly recommend! My only critique is that is not so easy to find the location. More detailed maps/instructions would be very helpful.

I had a beautiful kimono dressing with a Nagoya obi and a lovely fukurasuzume style. My hairstyle was also set up cutely. I had the opportunity to take photos at Kaminarimon and Tokyo Skytree, and they sent the pictures to me right away via email. I definitely want to use this service again.

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。

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!!

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!

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!!

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!
