Must do this!!

Cassie_A, Apr 2026

This was perfect even during the rain! I've never felt so beautiful more so than on my wedding! The staff are all lovely and very helpful. I paid for the extras as to me it was 1000% worth it. Most likely to do this every time i come to Japan as its just beautiful!

Wonderful Kimono experience!

Chloe_B, Feb 2026

We loved this. My nine year old daughter absolutely wanted to experience wearing a Kimono while in Japan; we are so happy we found this experience! From the moment we arrived in the national garden and found their location we were welcomed with true hospitality, she was able to choose which Kimono she wanted to wear, which hair style and begin the process. Her getting dressed was provided by caring ladies who then went to work on her hair. From there we went for a walk around the garden, took a number of photos and then came back. Their gift shop has many very cool, unique items for sale, we did buy a beautiful glass to take home as a memory of our time there. This was one of the most relaxing, peaceful, beautiful parts of our whole trip completely recommend for anyone wanting to have a Kimono experience.
