Kinkakuji Temple photography

located in the Tanukikoji Arcade, easy to find. when you enter tell the staff your name and reservation time. they get quite busy but are very efficient. we chose our Kimono and then we're taken to the back to get partially fitted. then we were taken to the front for hairstyling. I highly recommend that you get the package with hairstyling. they have several options to choose from. lastly we were taken back for the Kimono dressing. we rented umbrellas (1100yen); purses are free to use. went to Nakajima park for pics.

The location is super easy to find, right across from Kitty. The staff is incredibly patient and will help you coordinate your kimono and accessories. They have many kimonos available, and they're all very clean, new, and stylish – very high quality. They are extremely meticulous and take care of every detail. Arriving in Tokyo, it instantly lifted my spirits. Putting on a kimono can be a bit complicated, but the staff assisting with the dressing are very patient and carefully perfect every detail. Kyoko, the Japanese hairstylist, is amazing! After she finished my hair, my whole appearance was instantly elevated. It's magical! She did such a fantastic job, really. I kept admiring how detailed and wonderful the hairstyle was. It was a very enjoyable experience and made me feel beautiful.

They were effient when dressing me. I looked and felt so beautiful. I had a few people tell me I was beautiful as I walked around. One woman asked if she could take a picture with me, when I replied yes, she was surprised and said, "Oh you're American!" I am 1/2 Okinawan!

The staff were really attentive and nice. They helped us pick the right combinations and adjusted the obi well. I will definitely book this place again if I return to Japan. 10/10 Super Recommended!!!!

I upgraded my kimono, hairstyle, make-up and accessories, and I added one-hour photo session. My photographer was Xiao tong (小童). The whole experience was great: My hair, my make-up and my kimono look great and my photos are beautiful! Thank you so much!

The staff is incredibly friendly. I was worried about being late because I overslept and thought my reservation might be canceled. However, I simply sent them a message on LINE, and they responded very quickly, assuring me it was no problem. The staff helps you choose a kimono that suits your skin tone and personal style, and the coordination is excellent. Although the photography service is a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it. The photographer is fantastic and knows how to guide you into natural and elegant poses. The shop is clean, and the decor is comfortable. If you're visiting Asakusa, you absolutely must come to this kimono shop! The provided socks are disposable and very hygienic. The entire process is foreigner-friendly, with no hidden extra charges. The waist cords are free! Paper umbrellas are also available to borrow at no cost.

The store is conveniently located at the city centre. we arrived at the booking time and welcomed by the very helpful staffs. there’s plenty of kimono options to choose from! Kimono is clean and new. The staffs will help you wear it in proper Japanese way. Also complimentary hair styling for ladies. The Shrine is only 15 min walk away so that’s a major bonus! Rental time until 6pm is defo enough for a fun experience.

The experience was adorable for us! It's a something to do in Japan, wherever you choose to wear a kimono. My husband and I got to walk around Odori Park and Miyoshi Shrine, since they're just walking distance from the rental shop. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating to us before and after the rental service.
