Special Geisha Performance and Games in the Heart of Tokyo

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Dominique

This was such a wonderful way to take part in something so traditional, but with assistance for English speakers. There was a neat combination of Japanese and international participants, so it felt very cross-cultural while keeping the traditional elements. The geisha both performed and engaged the audience with a series of games, making the experience feel very personal and warm.

【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

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!

九州から娘（私）の元に母と祖母が初めて遊びに来るということで特別な体験をと思い予約しました。

祖母へはどこに連れて来られるかも告げていなかったのでスタジオについたときは最初逃げ出しそうになりご迷惑おかけしましたが、スタッフの皆様が褒めながら着せてくださり無事に着替えることができました。

3世代＋主人公の4人で着物を着せてもらい、オプションの撮影も現地でお願いしました★
(＋4000円で1枚/1グループ）

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。

また東京に来る際は是非宜しくお願いします。
親切にしていただきありがとうございました！

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

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.

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

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've been to Asakusa many times, but it was my first time riding in a rickshaw. The view from the rickshaw was different from usual, and I really enjoyed it. The rickshaw puller kindly stopped at various points to explain things and took pictures for us, which made me very satisfied. I would like to use this service again if I have the chance.

Origami Paper Folding Class in Traditional Asakusa

Great class!

Reviewed by: kristy

This was a great origami class! We were a group of 3 adults and 3 kids. The teacher was terrific with the kids, even when one of them decided not to do origami and instead cut and pasted the paper into different shapes. I really enjoyed making the origami flowers that looked so difficult, but were actually easy. There was sufficient instruction for complete beginners, yet the class was also interesting for those who had done origami before. Highly recommended!

Fun Sumie Ink Painting Lesson in Tokyo with English Speaking Instructor

Fun, Practical and Relaxing Introduction to Sumie

Reviewed by: Aaron Eames

The location is close to the station, maybe three minutes from the nearest exit, and the shop itself is easy to find being on the main road. The session itself takes place in the shop/atelier, the walls lined with sumie works on general sale. In the lesson I learnt a little about sumie history, techniques and styles. The instructor speaks English well and is friendly and patient. I painted five small pieces following his example which featured bamboo, Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms and was able to take my attempts home. He gave me good advice and directions to a washi (Japanese paper) store after the session. I recommend the experience to anyone interested in sumie and wanting to give it a try!

Convenient Kimono Rental and Dress-up Studio in Asakusa

It was really fun

Reviewed by: yumiko

Since it had been a long time since I'd been in Japan, I wanted to rent yukata and take a walk in Asakusa, so I tried this rental option.

The shop was very clean and even though everyone seemed quite busy, they all treated us kindly and with a smile. When you live overseas for a long time, this kind of Japanese hospitality is really moving. I would like to do a kimono rental next time.

Thank you very much!

Kimono Rental and Kimono Dressing in Nihonbashi

Kimono Rental With my Thai Girlfriend

Reviewed by: Yuutaro

In April, my Thai girlfriend and I went together for this kimono rental experience. Unfortunately, it was a little rainy outside, but the meeting place for the activity was inside and the shop had a classy feel. The person who helped us put on the kimono spoke English, and I noticed a lot of non-Japanese customers. My girlfriend can't speak any Japanese, so this was really helpful for us.

We went to wear kimono together, and even as a guy, I thought it was really fun. More than that, my girlfriend was happy and that was the best. It seems like many people have an interest in Japanese kimono, so if you have friends from overseas, you should definitely bring them to do this.

Since you can wear the kimonos for the whole day (until 6pm), we got on the train and headed for Asakusa. It was kind of funny since so many travelers were staring at us. We had a lot of people ask to take pictures with us. It felt like we were famous.

After that, we wandered around Tokyo Skytree, Ginza and the Imperial palace, wearing the kimono to our heart's content! I definitely recommend this to travelers. I really enjoyed this tour.

It was my first experience with kyogen. Just seeing the Noh theater is worth it, and Enban Rider's pre-performance explanation was great. I enjoyed the kyogen itself thanks to the explanations.

There is a bit of an insider feel to it. It's like I stumbled into a cultural festival from another school...

Overall, I think it offers value that exceeds the price.

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.

Love this place so much. OMOTENASHI NIHONBASHI is the best place to try dressing Kimono with dressing kimono expert and leran the proper way to wear Kimono. You can choose your own Kimono and Obi. You can walk around Tokyo while wearing Kimono but you have to return Kimono before 6.00 P.M.


บริการดีมากค่ะ เอาใจใส่ทุกรายละเอียดของการแต่งตัวเขาจะมีกิโมโนให้เราเลือกสีตามที่ชอบ และโอบิให้เราเลือกเองได้ แต่ตอนที่เราแต่งเราให้เขาช่วยเลือกกิโมโนให้เลยเพราะเราไม่รู้ว่าชุดไหนสีไหนเข้ากับตัวเรา เขาก็เลือกให้เลย น่ารักค่ะสไตล์คนญี่ปุ่นจะน่ารักๆเรียบร้อยเอาใจใส่และดูแลลูกค้าดี เราสามารถใส่ชุดไปเดินเล่นข้างนอกได้ด้วย แต่ต้องคืนก่อน6โมงเย็น.

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.

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

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!
