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.

I also worked in Vancouver, Canada for about a year and a half. If you just walk around here, it’s honestly hard to know what you’re looking at. I’ll break down who the Emperor is, why this place matters, and how Japanese people see the Emperor today. We’ll take a walk through the Imperial Palace area, which used to be Edo Castle. I’ll share easy stories about samurai life, castle defenses, and things like watchtowers and moats. We’ll also visit some popular Japanese gardens. They’re great for photos, and there’s a small model of the old castle that helps you picture what this place looked like back in the day. I recently launched this tour, so there aren’t many reviews yet—that’s why I’ve kept the price a bit lower.

Along the temple approach, there is time for optional light food sampling, such as traditional sweets. The experience concludes at one of Japan’s top-class Japanese gardens, where stillness, balance, and thoughtful use of space express Showa-era aesthetics.
