Casual Ryuso Costume Experience & Photo Shoot (Naha)

The shop is located inside Makishi Market. Take the stairs from the 1st-floor entrance to the 2nd-floor shop, and just show your reservation confirmation. You'll need to take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in a plastic bag. You'll also be given a large bag for your personal belongings (and a numbered wristband to wear). Any food or drinks should be placed separately on a small table inside the door. Please remember to keep an eye on your belongings, as I left the Chinsuko I bought at Shuri Castle in the shop and forgot to take it with me. By the time I remembered, it was the next day, and it was the shop's day off on Sunday, so I had to leave it for them (cries). This shop is very popular. I arrived on time for my reservation, and there were already at least 4 to 5 Chinese girls getting dressed or waiting in line. It took about 30 to 40 minutes for my turn. I recommend booking the earliest slot if possible to avoid waiting in line and to ensure you get to choose the outer and inner garments you want before others pick them! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though they were extremely busy, they patiently discussed what hairstyle you wanted and what obi (belt) style you preferred. They also helped take photos when they had a moment. The service includes hairstyling and dressing (you can choose between a kimono or Ryukyu dress), but not makeup. Two-toed socks are provided. For the Ryukyu dress, you choose the outer and inner garments separately. You change out of your own clothes in a small changing room, put on the nude-colored bodysuit provided by the shop, and then wait in line for hairstyling and dressing. You can also choose your own hair accessories. Finally, after taking all your photos and taking off the Ryukyu dress, you don't have to undo your hairstyle. The shop even gives you a small hair tie as a gift (you can choose the design). This was truly an interesting experience and highly recommended!

This time experiencing Ryukyu clothing in Okinawa was absolutely fantastic! The staff were very kind, helping to select suitable styles and colors, and carefully helped with taking photos. The quality of the clothing was very good, with details full of traditional characteristics, and wearing it immediately immersed me in the Ryukyu atmosphere. The photo location was beautiful, and every photo turned out gorgeous! The whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable, highly recommended for friends who want to experience Okinawan culture, definitely worth visiting again!

This Ryukyu costume experience was fantastic! The staff were incredibly helpful, and it was great value for money. There were so many hairstyle options to choose from, and the location was very easy to find.

A costume event worth experiencing! The store is easy to find, the service is very good and attentive, they will actively help and give advice on clothing matching, and they also helped us take a lot of photos of the scenes in the store before returning the clothes! Finally, there are souvenir hair accessories to give away!

I think it's great, I'm just a bit shy. The store also gave me an extra gift 🎁. I recommend wearing it for photos at the beach; it's very summery.

The staff here were so lovely and helpful, they all spoke a little English but I was able to communicate with rudimentary Japanese. the dressing was easy and straightforward and then they did photos and then I went out for a walk around. Lovely experience!

The store is easy to find on the second floor. The service attitude is super good. The emotional value is great. The hair is tied very well! ! I can't bear to tear it down 😭😭 I will want to experience it again next time. The weather was not good this time.

really wonderful! the people are so nice and even though I’ve never done professional photography (and I’m very curvy so the clothes had to be adjusted quite a bit) it was still a really wonderful experience because of the people that work there! they gave me lots of compliments and pointers for how to pose and there was even a freestyle portion of the shoot where you could pick from a wide collection of props including a sword! highly recommend!

There are many styles of Ryufu, including lining and outerwear. You can refer to the photos on the hangers for color matching. The socks are disposable and will be provided by the store. There are several types of makeup and hair to choose from, and you can also choose the hair accessories you like. On that day, I chose my favorite hibiscus 🌺, which was very beautiful. After dressing up, you can take pictures of the scenes in the store, where there are some props. The clothes and backpacks you change will be placed in a large bag with your name and the time they must be returned. It is recommended to take a picture of the time so as not to forget. There are also some elegant handbags in the store that are light and can be used to carry valuable items such as wallets and mobile phones. Overall, it is a very special experience and I would recommend it!

The stylist and hairdresser provided excellent service with many styles and options to choose from. The outfits were beautiful. However, if the package includes a 30-minute self-photo session with a mobile phone in the studio, the shop actually gave us more time than that. Location: The room was a bit cramped. The photo corners should be improved. Equipment: Beautiful outfits, plenty of props, and lovely hairstyles. Activities: It was fun. Instructor: The stylist was quick and skilled, and did beautiful hair.
