Ninja Training at the Musashi Clan Honjin Dojo with an English Interpreter
Fantastic experience
Reviewed by: pkfitzy, 2017/05/04My son (12 years) and I had a fantastic time together at Ninja school. It was just the two of us with the instructor, as well as a translator, who also took photos and videos for us the whole time. The instructor was very knowledgable, clear in his instruction, and made the experience lots of fun. We loved it, and one day plan to go back for more!

Kimono Rental and Kimono Dressing in Nihonbashi
Best experience ever
Reviewed by: Abby, 2017/04/18Truly completed the Japanese experience. We learned the different parts of a kimono, wrapping, tying, layering, and folding. The best part was walking around Nihonbashi and bumping into locals who were also in their gorgeous kimonos. Highly recommended

着物・浴衣レンタル 上質な着物で浅草散策を楽しもう＜浅草駅より徒歩5分＞by 美麗 kimono&culture
プライベートな雰囲気で、いろいろアドバイスしてもらえました。
Reviewed by: レーペル, 2017/04/03休日に1日だけ浴衣を着たいと思って申し込みました。
場所は浅草のど真ん中ではないのですが、その分静かで落ち着いた場所にある、とっても雰囲気がいいところでした。他のお客さんでガヤガヤせず、ゆっくり選べたので自分にはすごく良かったです。
オーナーさんはとても和装にお詳しく、浴衣の選び方からマナーまで、いろいろ相談にのって頂きました。最初に数点セレクトしていただいたのですが、どれも自分に合っていて驚きました。和装は「季節外れや場違いなセレクトをしてないだろうか？」という不安がいつもあるのですが、そこもオーナーさんにちゃんと見てもらえたので安心でした。
残念ながら大雨で予定時間まで着られなかったのですが、次もまたお願いしたいと思いました。

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo
So much fun!
Reviewed by: Roxie, 2017/03/25I 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.
Hello, Roxie
Thank you very much for such a great compliments!
We were really happy and honor to have you two over here at our studio.
We also have photo option plans, and guide service on location.
We will expect to have you here again sometime!

Private Tea Ceremony near Tokyo Tower with English-Speaking Instructor
So welcoming and interesting!
Reviewed by: Dominique, 2017/01/19This was a wonderful way to take part in a tea ceremony. The hosts spoke English very well, and walked us through the ceremony while keeping the respectful tone of a traditional experience. We learned a lot about the ceremony, and had a little bit of time at the end for taking photos as well. I would definitely do this again!

Special Geisha Performance and Games in the Heart of Tokyo
Amazing experience!
Reviewed by: Dominique, 2017/01/19This 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.
Dear Dominique,
Thank you very much for visiting us, and this very warm message. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed traditional Japanese entertament. A feeling of intimacy and hospitality is what we try to create, so please come and experience again in near future! Best regards,

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo
A Unique Experience
Reviewed by: Amanda F., 2017/01/04My 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.
Thank you so much for coming to our studio, and it`s our honor to have your compliment. We are very much looking forward to having you over our studio again!

Special Geisha Performance and Games in the Heart of Tokyo
お座敷体験
Reviewed by: 能津万理, 2016/12/03お座敷体験事態は素晴らしかったです。が、ペットボトルのお茶や缶ビールには残念です。せっかくの雰囲気が。缶ビールを開けて飲むのも恥ずかしいし。おもてなしとするならば急須にお茶を入れてもらってちょっとした和菓子でもあった方がいいと思いました。
この度はご参加下さり誠に有難うございました。５つ星のご評価を賜り、誠に嬉しく、光栄でございます。また、貴重なご意見をお寄せ頂き、誠に有難うございます。
訪日外国人観光客の皆様を含め、幅広いお客様にご対応すべく、現行のスタイルをとっておりますが、お座敷遊び体験は、つかの間の江戸文化体験として雰囲気を重視しておりますので、能津様のご意見をぜひ参考にさせて頂きたく存じます。
今後とも精進してまいりますので、ぜひまたお遊びくださいませ。またのお越しを心よりお待ち申し上げております。

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo
10/10, Would Do Again
Reviewed by: Hannah, 2016/11/25I 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!

Origami Paper Folding Class in Traditional Asakusa
Great class!
Reviewed by: kristy, 2016/11/16This 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!

Kimono Rental and Kimono Dressing in Nihonbashi
Beautiful kimonos and wonderful servcie
Reviewed by: jenniferashley, 2016/10/25My family and I really enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend it. The service was wonderful and professional. The choice of kimonos was excellent. We took some photos inside and then went out on the street to take more photos. We all had a really good time. You don't need to return the kimono until the end of the day.
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you very much for your comment. We are very glad that you enjoyed KIMONO experience. The KIMONO fitter remembers you and your daughter very well, and said she was an angel! In summer time, we have YUKATA which is a summer style cotton KIMONO, so please come back and have another try in near future.

Fun Sumie Ink Painting Lesson in Tokyo with English Speaking Instructor
Fun, Practical and Relaxing Introduction to Sumie
Reviewed by: Aaron Eames, 2016/08/28The 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, 2016/08/22Since 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, 2016/08/12In 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.

Classic Tea Ceremony with Full Cha-Kaiseki Cuisine and Matcha Green Tea in Tokyo
The Most Authentic Tea Ceremony Experience
Reviewed by: Ian, 2016/08/05Most tea ceremony experiences are in the form of a performance. You don't experience the feeling of host and guest that is the original purpose of "the way of tea"---a framework for communication and meditation. Of course, as a guest without knowledge of the tea ceremony you can only be a spectator not a true guest and participant.
Mat-Cha-Doh does an excellent job of teaching you to be more than a spectator of the ceremony. With an interpreter and instruction you are a participant in what is more than a ceremony---a meeting of host and guest within the framework taught by the Urasenke School of Tea. And surrounded by an authentic tea house with wood from the great temples of Nara, and centuries old tea ware, this is truly a once in a lifetime experience!!

Dear Abby,
Thank you for joing us, and we are very glad that you fully enjoyed KIMONO experience. As you mentioned, KIMONO is very unique and traditional costume which has long history at the same time some people still wear daily. If you have a chance, please come and visit us again on Summer, as we have summer time kimono called "YUKATA" which is made of cotton and very beautiful as well.
