About this tour
Don a traditional kimono or yukata in Asakusa and explore Tokyo's historic district dressed for the period. This two-hour rental includes the garment, obi, styling and accessories. A professional photographer can accompany you through nearby laneways and temple grounds, capturing portraits in authentic settings or indoors if weather turns. The experience suits all ages—even infants and wheelchair users—and pairs well with a matcha tasting lesson (additional cost).
Highlights
- Choose from lightweight everyday yukata to formal silk kimono styles
- Professional hair styling and accessories included in rental
- Optional guided photo session with familiar local photographer
- Studio backdrop available for rainy days
- Fully accessible for wheelchair users and prams
- Walk Asakusa's streets dressed authentically
- Matcha tea pairing available (kids 7+ only)
What to expect
You'll arrive at YUI and select your garment from their range—casual summer styles or elaborate formal pieces. Staff will dress you properly, style your hair with period-appropriate clips, and fit you with footwear and a bag. If you've booked the photographer, they'll lead you through Asakusa's quieter spots and major landmarks, directing poses and composition. Expect roughly 90 minutes on foot. The studio option means poor weather won't derail your session. Matcha tasting happens separately and requires ordering ahead; it's not automatically included.
Good to know
Large suitcases cost 550 yen extra to store. Hair accessories, obijime cord, and makeup aren't included—budget accordingly or arrange makeup beforehand. Men should bring styling supplies. Children under seven cannot drink matcha due to caffeine. Public transport and wheelchair-accessible facilities surround the shop.
