I like kimono and wear some for 20+ years. You can rent one, but they're usually made of polyester.I would like you to try the authentic one! We can visit some vintage / second-hand kimono stores either in Asakusa, Akihabara or Nippori. I can advise you what kind of kimono would suite you, and make you wear an actual kimono. Please note that Japanese tend to be alot more tiny than your countries, so kimono might not fit you. After making you wear the kimono, we can stop by Sensoji Temple, or larndmark. Sample Itinerary: 10am Meet at Asakusa station and walk to the store. 10:15 Choose Kimono and obi and other small things you would like to purchase. 10:45 Start making you wear a kimono. Please note this time varies due to the number of your group. Usually 30min per person. 11:15 Walk to Sensoji Temple or wherever you like nearby. 11:30 Tour ends. If you would like a pro photographer, it could be a paid option. Looking forward to meeting you.

In this tour, I will guide you through not only Asakusa's famous landmarks but also its lesser-known sides—stories and places that even many Japanese people don't know. I believe that to truly understand Japan’s history and culture, it's important to explore both the light and the shadow. Having worked with many tour guides, I’ve noticed that most focus only on the “good” side of Japan—saying how wonderful everything is. While I love my country, I also think it's important to show a complete picture, including the difficult and complex parts of our past. I’m passionate about sharing Japan with people from around the world. With experience guiding over 300 international visitors, I offer a unique, honest, and interactive tour. Each tour is private—only one group per session—so we can communicate freely. Feel free to ask questions at any time. I look forward to exploring Asakusa with you!

Shimokitazawa was voted the second coolest city in the world—come find out why. Located at the crossing of two suburban train lines, it’s packed with cool underground culture spots: independent theaters, live-music venues, comedy houses, and independent cinemas. Within 500m of this station a retail kaleidoscope awaits, with used-clothing stores, cheap and tasty restaurants, cool and retro cafes, vinyl, cassette and CD stores, and eclectic general stores. Shimokita is unique both in Tokyo and in the world. The Odakyu Line ran aboveground from 1927 until 2013. When the company tore up the tracks and moved them underground, large tracts of land opened. Meanwhile, the area under Shimokita’s other train line was also redeveloped. These two developments drastically changed the town. Fortunately, the new developments are offbeat and original, and fit the town’s original bohemian vibe. A local guide will lead this insider’s tour. Come experience the real Shimokitazawa.
