Imperial Palace photography

I had the best experience with them. They gave me enough suggestions on which type of kimonos and obis would look good on me. They also assisted my husband with his Yakuta. The staff was super friendly inspite of being so busy. They gave me a couple of options for hairstyles and the final one turned out to be so beautiful. I would also want to give a special mention to photographer Paul, who clicked such beautiful pictures and guided us with poses and what to do throughout the entire process. Even the unedited photos were so pretty.

The shop is easy to find, and you get to choose your preferred kimono design. I recommend arriving early, as the selection becomes limited later in the day and you might not get your preferred color. The staff are helpful—they assist with dressing and even do your hair. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience in Tokyo!

I’ve worn kimono before, but this experience really stood out. The staff were incredibly careful and detail-oriented, making sure the kimono looked neat and beautiful (very important!). The hairstyling was also amazing~ Everyone was so friendly and gentle, and they gave great advice on both the kimono and hairstyle.

We absolutely love the photos. The staff are friendly & provided some suggestions during the selection of outfits & hairdo. The photographer, Malan is very professional too. Definitely value for money.

I wholeheartedly recommend this place! ❤️ It was an incredible adventure and a truly unforgettable experience that will stay with me forever. The photos turned out absolutely phenomenal like true works of art and will be a beautiful keepsake for a lifetime. The photographer was amazing, paying attention to every detail, giving helpful guidance, and making the whole moment even more special and filled with emotion. The staff was incredibly kind, and everything went smoothly in a calm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re planning a visit to Kyoto, I highly recommend booking this experience. it’s a memory you’ll treasure forever! 🌸

This activity was a very good experience. The staff service was excellent. There were many kimono to choose from. We booked the basic set, but it was already very beautiful. If you want a minimalist style, you have to pay extra, and beautiful hairstyles also cost an extra 1650 yen. We added that as well. The hair was done quickly and beautifully. There was someone to help dress us, which was very convenient. They also lend out bags and shoes for free.

jiang Cheng is the best! She knows a lot of beautiful places to take pictures. Very professional and friendly. she waited for us to be finished for our kimono session. we are family of 4 so it takes time. we love her work for 30 minutes a lot of pictures and different poses with her own props. She also take our pictures at the Yasaka Pagoda so we are comfortable with her already. Highly recommended her!!! :)

This was truly an unforgettable experience me and my four friends rented kimonos from here and we’re able to take the most memorable pictures at the temple. This is definitely something you have to do when you come to Kyoto and this company is the best company to do it with! Thank you!
