About this tour

The rental includes the garment, obi sash, footwear, socks, clutch and hair ornament, with staff assistance through the fitting process. You'll leave styled and ready to photograph yourself against temple gates and traditional shopfronts in one of Tokyo's most photogenic quarters.

What to expect
Upon arrival, you'll browse available kimonos and select one that appeals to you. Staff will dress you properly, securing the obi and arranging your hair with an ornament. The whole process usually wraps within an hour unless the shop is busy. You then have the afternoon to wander Asakusa at your own pace—the temple precinct, narrow lanes lined with craft stalls and noodle shops, and quieter neighbourhood corners all work brilliantly as backdrops. Wear the shoes provided; they're designed for kimono movement. You're expected to return everything at the end of your rental period.
Good to know
Makeup isn't included, so apply yours before arrival if desired. Public transport stations are within walking distance for reaching Asakusa. All fitness levels manage this comfortably since you're strolling, not hiking. Service animals are welcome. Bring a small bag for your own belongings.
