(Now Kimono) You can choose, in advance, your preference from a selection of about 50 Yukata or Kimono. I offer authentic kimono made from silk, produced in the traditional way. It is very comfortable to wear and very beautiful. The dressing time depends on the number of people, but ranges from 30 minutes to one hour.

Best Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

My fiancée and I had such a lovely time doing this! Sayoko was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. I decided to pay for the hair, makeup, and photos. It was totally worth it. I felt so pretty, and my fiancée looked handsome. The walk to the shrine felt nice since you walk through the neighborhood. Sayoko taught me to walk elegantly and how to go over a stair step in my kimono. Sayoko even taught us the appropriate etiquette of visiting a shrine and to pray. I highly recommend booking this experience. You get to learn and embrace Japanese culture.

Great experience! Highly recommended!

Published on Jan, 2025

I absolutely loved this experience! Ms. Sayoko made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. I also booked a hair and make up and the hair stylist-make up artist did a wonderful job making me look great! Highly recommend the make up and hair for those who don't really know how to do it like myself. The pictures look so beautiful. Ms. Sayoko also gave a tour of the shrine that also served as the photoshoot background. The kimono+accessories Ms. Sayoko provided were really beautiful and she dressed me so nicely. I can't recommend this activity enough! I would love to come back to do this for cherry blossom season!

An excellent experience to dive into Japanese culture

Published on Oct, 2024

This experience was truly enriching. It was my first time wearing a kimono and strolling around in it, as well as my first time attending a Japanese tea ceremony. I highly recommend this activity as it offers a unique immersion into Japanese culture and is absolutely worth it. The photos and videos taken during this experience are of high quality and will form memories of my trip to Japan !

A breathtaking cultural experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We highly recommend spending some time with Sayoko and wear kimonos in the streets of Tokyo ! It's a wonderful experience especially if you like and are interested in the japanese culture. You'll have beautiful photos to keep as a souvenir from your trip and it's a pleasure to talk with Sayoko !
