About this tour
Step into traditional Japanese dress at this Tokyo studio where you'll be styled head-to-toe in authentic kimono, yukata, or formal ryuso before a professional photoshoot. A stylist handles your hair, makeup, and garment draping—all you do is show up and pose. The studio stocks over 500 pieces across all sizes, from infants to adults, making it genuinely accessible. You leave with photographs and the memory of seeing yourself as Japanese nobility might have centuries ago. One hour total.

What to expect
Arrive at the studio and browse the extensive garment selection to pick your outfit. A trained dresser will secure your kimono properly—this isn't DIY; they handle ties, layers, and positioning so everything sits right. Hair gets styled with traditional pins and ornaments, then makeup is applied to match the formal look. Once you're dressed, the photographer positions you for several shots in different poses and angles. The whole process flows logically: styling first, photography second. Allow time to admire yourself before leaving.
Good to know
Wear simple underwear beneath your kimono. The studio provides all foundational layers, socks (tabi), and footwear, so come empty-handed. Public transport nearby. Prams welcome for babies not dressing up. Allow buffer time if travelling across the city.
