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!

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.
Dear Andy, thank you very much for your review and we are glad that you had a wonderful experience. It might be one good thing that our customers can use their own cameras and take kimono photos at our fitting room. We hope you and your wife love Japan more!

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. We are always want our customers to smile here. In fact, we really enjoyed the photo session on the day, too! Please come back again if you have any chance, we are always looking forward to seeing you someday :)

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. We really appreciate 5 star review and please have a nice stay in Japan!!

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!
休日お友達と遊ぶのに利用しました!
なんだかいつもとは違う休日を過ごしたくてこのプランを利用することに。
着物の種類はとても豊富で、その場にいた他のお客さんとも和気あいあいと相談しながら決めました。着付けとヘアセットはひとり30分程度でとても手際よく着付けてくださいました。
着物を着てからは、浅草寺、スカイツリー、すみだ水族館、アンヂェラスでお茶と、浅草をたーくさん堪能してきました!
新鮮な気持ちで浅草を散歩できて楽しかったです。
英語、韓国語も対応可能だそうなので、外国のお友達を連れていっておもてなししてもいいかもしれません!

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。
スタジオには海外のお客さんも沢山来ており、台湾とタイの方もいました。
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。

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。

The women were very lovely and sweet, and they worked very hard to make the dress up a great experience for us. There was a giant variety in kimonos, especially considering my friend was 5'5" and I'm 5'11. The service was prompt and excellent, and we had a lot of fun and lovely reactions when we walked around the Asakusa Shrine nearby. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone, it was the best thing I did in my time in Japan and well worth the money.

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!

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.

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!

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!!
