Nice kimono set up.

Doodnauth_N, Apr 2024

Very detailed promotion. It included everything, the rickshaw rides were strange but good and there was ample photography from this host.

Kimono experience is a must!

Ersilia_B, Apr 2024

The facility to dress up was very easy to find using the Asakusa subway line. It is visible from the subway exit. The people running the kimono rental are fantastic! Very professional and accommodating to our needs in terms of time frame and outfit selection. The rickshaw ride was great too. We would do it again! Thank you for a great experience and memory!

Almost great

The extra 2,200 yen they required us to pay because we had large breasts was annoying. It felt like a ruse. The owner woman was very pushy, but her staff were lovely and the rickshaw driver was awesome.

Great experience of Japanese culture

Joshua_C, Nov 2023

I was really skeptical but after doing it I would highly recommend it as part of visiting Japan. The location is a bit tricky to find, accessed by the alley next to a hotel. The staff is really nice and friendly...as long as you follow their instructions. They dress you up completely, there is really nothing you need to do. They have a lot of different and pretty kimonos to choose from but you may need to pay extra for some of them. The rickshaw ride was really good and the "driver" was very friendly and gave us several options on routes. We had a booking for 11am and had up to 6pm to return the kimonos, so it gives you plenty of time to experience it, which is more than enough time considering that it can get quite uncomfortable after a coule of hours.

So much fun!!!!

Great experience. The kimono dressing was quick and efficient. The people at the shop were amazing with my 5 yr old daughter.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for visiting our store. We are very happy to see the lovely young lady and her mother wearing kimono. Please come again when you come to Japan. The photos we took have been sent to you via email. ( asakusa.hanaka@gmail.com ) please check. thank you very much.

5 star experience!!! Loved it. Would do it again.

NAPHA_P, Sep 2023

I loved this experience so much that I would do it again if I'm ever lucky enough to visit again. My daughter and I had so much fun. They will carefully dress you, step-by-step. I go quite the education, I had no idea so much went into wearing a kimono. They will wrap you up the right way! Lol. Then you pick a cute bag and they even give you wooden slippers. They even dressed our hair with flowers and trinkets. They were not as uncomfortable as I thought they would be. Just a side note, I wear a US-Medium, Size 6-8 and I am considered "plus size" so there was an extra charge for that. Also, my shoe size is Women's 8.5, that is considered "large" here so there was an upcharge for a bigger pair of slippers. So I did end up paying more than what is advertised here. They take pictures of you and send to your phone. Next is a rickshaw ride thru the streets then we got dropped off at Senso-ji Temple. Our rickshaw riders were so awesome. We enjoyed exploring Senso-ji Temple and shopping in all the cool little shops located there. Everyone kept asking to take pictures of/with us. We felt like princesses for a day. They really did a great job. Take note of the street location bc the place is kinda hidden, we got a little lost trying to find the place to return everything by 6. We loved all the ppl that worked there, very pleasant, friendly folks. We would 100% recommend this experience.

Kimono day

Carlos_S, May 2023

Most memorable about this event was learning the host country’s culture. Riding a rickshaw was cool and the guides were very friendly. But the best part of the experience was my family wearing the typical kimono. I do recommend this event 100%.

Awesome Kimono clad and Rickshaw trip!

BEN_I, Apr 2023

Highly recommended!! We were greeted by the friendly owner and staffs who dress us up. The place was small but packed with beautiful kimonos and accessories. The price is very reasonable. After dressed-up,they called on the 2 young & handsome rickshaw guide! We opted for an extra 1/2 hr ride.(10K/yen for 2 rickshaws) They took us around, stopped for photo ops. This is the highlight of our trip! Worth it!

One of our favorite parts of our trip!

Rachel_B, Apr 2023

My husband and I spent 6 days in Japan but this experience combined with go carting in Shibuya made this day our favorite day of the trip! The staff dressed us quickly (I learned just how complex kimonos are to put on) and then we got to ride the rickshaw with our wonderful and hilarious rickshaw driver! Asakusa is really beautiful and I will be recommending this experience to any of my friends who are considering visiting Japan.

Highly recommended

Rachel_M, Mar 2023
