It's a rental service that attracts many foreigners, and I was able to wear a kimono that was much cuter than I expected! The place is small, but the staff, who speak multiple languages, are friendly, and their sense of kimono dressing and hairstyles is outstanding. Overall, it was a smooth process. Also, I couldn't help but think that the kimono I wore while walking around Asakusa was the cutest! I would love to use this service again.
外国人がいっぱい来るレンタルサービスですが、思ったよりずっとかわいい着物を着るができました!場所は狭いが、多言語をしゃべるスタッフ陣の対応がフレンドリーで、着付けと髪型のセンスも抜群です。全体的にスムーズな過程でした。また、着付けしてもらった着物も、浅草の街中を歩いても、一番かわいいと自分が思ってしまいました笑。また利用したいと思います。

My friends from abroad and their fiancé came to Japan, and since they had just gotten engaged, I thought it would be a nice memory to gift them this plan. The staff at the store spoke English, so there was no need for interpretation each time, and the location was convenient, being close to Senso-ji Temple. Both of them were able to wear a kimono for the first time, and they said it was a wonderful experience and a great memory. I believe it would also be a good memory for Japanese people, but this time I felt I was able to provide a wonderful hospitality, and I'm glad I chose this option.
外国から友人とそのフィアンセが来日し、婚約したばかりだったので、その記念にと思い、このプランをプレゼントしました。お店の方々は英語もできたのでその都度通訳をする必要も無く、またお店の位置も雷門から近く便利でした。二人とも初めて着物を着ることができ、すごく良い経験、そして良い記念になったと言って喜んでいました。日本人でも良い思い出になるかと思いますが、今回は素敵なおもてなしができ、選んで良かったなと思いました。

It was my first time going to Asakusa, and since I was traveling alone, I was unsure of what to do, so I decided to ask for help at this shop. The staff were very friendly, and their kimono dressing skills were excellent. I wore a kimono that I usually don't wear and went to Asakusa with the photographer. I had requested a photo shoot as an option, and I thought it would just be taking pictures, but they also provided very detailed sightseeing guidance, which was really helpful. The photo shoot was professional, and I was surprised by how much attention they paid to my gaze and poses. I am filled with gratitude for the staff who made this a wonderfully memorable time. I would like to use their services again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.
浅草へ行くのは初めてで、一人旅だったのでどうしようかと考え、こちらのお店へお願いする事に。スタッフさんはとても感じ良いし、着付けの手際も良かったです。普段は着ない着物を着て、カメラマンさんと一緒に浅草へ。オプションでお願いしていた写真撮影も、写真を撮るだけだと思っていたら、とっても丁寧に観光案内までして下さって本当に助かりました。写真撮影も本格的で、目線やポーズにまで気を遣っての撮影にびっくりしました。大変思い出に残る素敵な時間にして下さったスタッフの方々に感謝でいっぱいです。また機会があったら利用したいと思っております。ありがとうございました。

This was something the girls (daughters & girlfriend) really wanted to do. I was not as enthusiastic about it.
When we arrived the staff was extremely friendly and immediately tended to all of our needs/requirements. We chose our Kimonos and they dressed us all up. They made up the females' hair really nice and beautiful and gave us more than enough time to walk around Asakusa after. There is a great temple about a block away to take super pictures at.
Additionally, one of the staff members makes origami earrings and they are for sale at a very great price. They also have fans, umbrellas and other accessories for rent/sale.
The overall experience was actually better than I thought it would be. We had such a great time. The downside to it was getting some dirty looks from some of the locals; however, for the most part, many enjoyed it and took pictures of/with us. There were more people who liked it than not. There was a family (Japanese) who was in there prior to us dressing up and walking around as well. We saw them later at the temple along with a few others from other kimono places all dressed up. So we did not feel out of place once we saw others.
I highly recommend this company if you want a great Kimono experience. They also have Samurai wear and other traditional dresses. Look them up (Sakura Photography in Asakusa).
Sam, Thank you for your such a great compliment comment. We are very happy and honored to have you over our shop. We look forward to meeting you someday again!

Second to the last day of our Japan trip, we had booked a rental at Sakura Photo Studio in Asakusa. Being.that we had a large group, of seven participants, we wanted to go in early to get ahead of the crowd.
We arrived via Ginza line, and in a few short blocks we were at the studio. It was located in 4 story building on the corner of two streets. Signs were posted on thier windows to show where they were located. The elevator is small, so you'll have to go in small groups of 3 or 4 at a time.
As we got there most of the employees of Sakura Photo Studio were just getting in, but we're ready to help us get into our kimonos. They were really quick and patient in helping us choose our kimonos. One of the employees spoke FOUR LANGUAGES: Japanese, Korean, Chinese ( Mandarin), and English! That was really helpful especially when other groups started to enter the studio,including that the studio is very small for changing into the kimonos.
The staff was able to get us into.our kimonos within the hour and let us know how long we had the rentals for the day. They also had some discounts on Rik Shaw rides through Asakusa. You'll look extra traditional with your kimonos.
Overall, the service was great, the quality of the kimonos were great and diverse, and the staff was very helpful. Will do again if I come back to Asakusa.
Thank you so much for coming our studio, and having our service. We are so much honored and happy to have you over such a great group of people. We are so much looking forward to having you over our shop once again sometime!!

Newfound respect for the ladies who had to wear kimonos on a daily basis back in the day! I didn't know the prep was so tedious. It was both surprisingly fun and tiring to walk in a kimono. We ate street food, shopped around Orange St and walked to Senso-ji Temple while we were wearing them. We were lucky that the place where we rented it from had actual silk kimonos instead of polyester because it was a very hot Sunday afternoon. Would recommend this experience to first time Tokyo visitors!

I didn't enjoy this tour. I didn't expect that I had to strip off my clothes in a space (with just a cloth as a door) with other strangers. Wearing the kimono was uncomfortable. It was heavy and complicated to wear (and take off). That particular day was also hot, so I was all sweaty and uneasy while walking outside. Good thing about this tour was the friendly staff at the Sakura Photo Studio.
We appreciate customers who let us know when things are not right. We are sorry you did not feel good with wearing kimono. Kimono is traditional wear that people need to put those in patience because of process to wear and with lots of layer clothes sometimes. Lots of people understand that. We are sorry for dressing room curtain. Extreme expression, `you had to strip off with other guests`? We never treat customers like that, anyways. We let our staff this issue notice as a serious warning if some of our staff treat you like that.

I made a reservation for a kimono experience that was a must-do for my relatives visiting Japan for the first time from the UK. On the day of the experience, I requested a last-minute change to the reservation time, and they were very flexible in accommodating me, which was a great help. It was quite crowded due to Golden Week, but the staff were efficient, and the dressing and hair styling were completed without much waiting.
Even with the most basic plan, there were more kimono options to choose from than I expected, so you’re sure to find a favorite. My relative chose a white kimono with floral patterns. While exploring Asakusa, many people complimented her with "cute!" and "Awesome!", and she seemed very happy.
I’m really glad that my important relative enjoyed it so much. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do this again.
