Full description

This is a experience in Tokyo. It is run by Kaiseido Inc., an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Kimono, Yukata and Hair set. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Kaiseido Inc. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Kaiseido Inc. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Kimono (⚠ up to 130cm hips) full set (kimono, obi belt, Japanese clutch, sandals, socks)
  • Yukata (June to September / ⚠ up to 130cm hips) full set (yukata, obi belt, Japanese clutch, sandals)
  • Hair set (women only)

From start to finish we were well taken care of. We were given loads of time to choose what we wanted to wear, guided through bags, shoes and accessories. Hair was done so gently and the wrapping of the yukata was a great experience! The rain didnt stop us from getting great shots. Would reccommend to anyone.

It went very well! We arrived and could pick out our yukata. The workers there spoke good English and helped us get dressed and do our hair. With the photoshoot we went to a nearby temple and the person taking the photos picked out poses and places for me, which I found very nice.

Wonderful experience! The photographer brought me to several locations around Senso-Ji to get some amazing photos. The dressing assistant was very patient and made sure I looked perfect.

I am absolutely thrilled and incredibly happy with the entire makeover! The photos in the kimono turned out absolutely beautiful. Choosing the outfit was pure pleasure. The gorgeous indigo kimono paired with the salmon-colored obi belt was a perfect choice! This combination looked extremely elegant and complemented my fair skin and blonde hair beautifully.Huge thanks to the hairstylist, who worked magic on my hair and created a wonderful, decorated bun - it was a true work of art! Thank you to the whole team for your help with putting on the kimono, choosing the hairstyle, and matching the per

It was for my 77 year old mum, and she had a great time. The team were kind, professional and lovely. And the kimono was luscious. It was also deceptively close to the temple, only 3 mins (there’s a short cut). My only negative and it’s a very minor one is better signage. I initially missed the small sign outside and there was nothing further inside. Maybe a small sign on the wall or above the lift button? Otherwise it was wonderful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kaiseido Inc. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
Not in the private lanes of Gion, where Kyoto has banned photography, and not close up anywhere: a maiko on the street is on her way to work. Your guide will say where a photograph is acceptable. Tea ceremony and kimono sessions include photographs as part of the session.

Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
