Fukuoka Prefecture Cultural experiences

Amazing experience. My daughter had a great time. Owner was very kind and helpful.

During my 3-night, 4-day trip to Fukuoka with my mom, I was looking for activities on our third day, which was entirely dedicated to Tenjin. I found a yukata/kimono experience and decided to sign up! I initially considered a kimono, but since it was June 1st, they switched to yukatas. It's definitely hot in Japan, so I think the slightly thinner yukata was a better choice. I booked the first slot at 9 AM and arrived a little early, about five minutes before, but they said the doors wouldn't open until exactly 9 AM, haha. So, while waiting, I saw a sign on the door advising to use the restroom beforehand, which I did. We then entered a little after 9 AM when they opened. I chose the Premium Deluxe Plan, and for the yukata, I picked from the Premium and 'One Star' options. Surprisingly, the 'One Star' ones seemed a bit prettier, so my mom and I each chose one from there. For hair, as per blog reviews, 'Two Star' options were available. I had already looked at some styles, so I went with 'Two Star' option #1. Since we were among the first three groups, we quickly put on the white inner garment, and then they did our hair. It was a braided style pulled to the side, and they asked which side I preferred, so I asked for the left. My hair turned out so incredibly beautiful that I was extremely satisfied. After the hair was done, we could choose hair ornaments. There were some free, round, candy-like ones, and then some prettier flower ones that cost an additional 500 yen. I just went with the free round one, haha. Still, I was satisfied! They also fitted the yukata well to my height, and for bags, the free options weren't particularly pretty, just plain, so I didn't pay extra. For shoes, I would have worn wooden clogs if they had been a bit softer, but they were completely hard wood, so we just wore our sneakers and walked around, making sure our feet weren't visible in photos. Also, it was so hot that we were going to use our own parasols, but then we thought, 'Since we're doing this, let's use theirs!' so we rented one for 500 yen, and I'm satisfied with it, haha. It matched the outfit so well and looked great in photos! We started at 9 AM, and after everything, we finished around 10 AM. We didn't plan on wearing it for too long, so we returned it before 12 PM. The photos turned out so pretty, and it was such a unique experience! I highly recommend it! 👍🏻

I wanted to try on a yukata on my way to Dazaifu, so I made a reservation. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from Gojo train station, and although the shop was small, I was able to try on a yukata in the design I wanted. I've worn women's yukata before, so this time I tried on a men's yukata, which was a unique experience, and the staff were very kind and helpful. They quickly helped me change and put on the geta with swift movements. It became a special memory.

The staff were incredibly friendly and skilled! The location was also perfect, right in front of the Tabito bus stop and Dazaifu Station. The hair styling, in particular, was truly artistic. When upgrading to premium on-site (which includes hair styling and more yukata options for women, but no hair styling for men), there was an additional charge of approximately 5,500 yen for two women. Even short hair could be styled! Please note that if you have a larger build or hips, your yukata design choices might be limited due to sizing. As of early June, wearing a yukata was comfortably warm and pleasant!

This was our first time to book professional photography experience. We were very happy during 1 hour photo shooting. The photographer is very nice and advices us how to perform. Once we have got the photo, they are very lovely. Truly appreciated that.

Experience: The owner was very kind and spoke both Japanese and Mandarin. Her advice on choosing kimonos was incredibly helpful. The kimonos were beautiful, and she did an excellent job arranging our hair accessories, giving our family a wonderful experience. We will definitely choose this shop again next time. 😘 Location: The location is very close to Dazaifu, which is very convenient. Facilities: The environment is very comfortable.

Had a great session with Photographer Jerry…And Mr.Kinari edited out pictures so well. Best Shibuya Photography experience

my photographer is good and kind but made few shots - not sure if that's the maximum tho

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! I had a wonderful time with these ladies learning about Japanese food. They could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Thank you so much for a very memorable and enjoyable experience. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan!
