Great experience, fantastic photos!

Erik_K, Sep 2025

First, the Kimono fitting experience, then the photography: Kimono choosing, if worried about color and matching a partner, takes 45-60min before the desired appointment time. The kimono rental place used is run by a group of foreign-to-Japan English-speaking seamstress' which are very helpful! But wear your own white undergarments... trust me. If you're a male with a larger than 56" chest, you'll need to buy a kimono in Tokyo yourself for correct fitting. For the photography session, there's plenty of pictures taken, and since you can only choose 30 or so, I recommend paying for the complete footage. That will give your party, some great candid shots with funny faces and ones where the background is more impressive than the humans in it. The charge is 10k extra Yen, but like I said, worth it! Mina, the photographer, was great and has a good eye for composition, color and shadows. The price paid was well worth the experience to get high quality photos, in great locations, without other tourists ruining the shots. Hire someone who knows what they're doing, to take your photos.
