Namba photography

The staff was friendly, although there was only one employee at the reception desk, so they were quite busy. We had to wait a bit because several groups of customers arrived at the same time. They can communicate in English, but when we had trouble choosing, we asked for a recommendation on which accessory colors to choose, but she couldn't offer any advice and just smiled. The older woman who helped with dressing and hairstyling spoke Japanese, but she was friendly. After changing, we waited a short while for the photographer to arrive, who was Taiwanese. Everyone was great, haha, and didn't force conversation, which was nice. We're not great at posing or expressions, and even though there were instructions, we felt a bit stiff. But overall, we were satisfied. We received the photos quickly the next day, and we would consider coming back again. In the end, the photographer even helped us return the wooden sandals to the store since we walked a bit further before returning to change. The store is quite small, and there are fewer options for men, mostly just a few color combinations. There are more options for women, but not many accessory choices.

what an awesome and exciting experience to do the Osaka Kimono. All employees are nice and they helped me and my husband to choose kimono. The photographer is so sweet and had a lot of patience with us. When we got done, the employees from the rental place had gifts for us. I highly recommend to have it done on your visit to Japan…especially if it is your first time.

We had a great experience, from picking out kimono to the actual photo shoot. There are different options available for women’s hairstyling, some are free and others cost a little extra. One thing to be aware of is that it is a fairly long walk from the studio to the shrine and castle. You may consider bringing your own shoes for the walk, if you have difficulty walking in sandals.

My 4 friends and I loved this experience. we upgraded our hair dos and it was totally worth it. We chose an early morning reservation and enjoyed our kimonos all day. We also had plus sized girls in our group and everyone was able to be accommodated. Really this was one of my favorite things I did in Japan.

Was late as we couldn’t locate the place. But the master was kind enough to wait for us to conduct the session. Great unique experience for a family to learn about ninja culture and lots of photos taken for memories.

"It was pouring rain that day, but they still managed to accommodate our booking. We were so grateful for the skills and kindness of the staff, from the reception to the hairdressers. My husband and I just had to recommend this shop to my friends who are planning to visit Osaka in June 2024!"
